pedagogically aimed to promote communicative competence in
second-language (L2) learning in a face-to-face (F2F) environment.
More often, the interactions among L2 learners or between native
speakers and L2 learners occur when one of the interlocutors
attempts to clarify or confirm the meaning of a new word or to
seek others’ opinions. Such modified interaction can potentially
develop learners’ linguistic knowledge in the target language.
Besides the abovementioned F2F research lines, this pilot study
aims to analyze the modified interaction patterns of different tasks
via LINE text chat, a synchronous computer-mediated
communication (SCMC) environment. This study involved eight
students, one native speaker (NS) of Chinese and seven nonnative
speakers (NNS) of CSL (Chinese as a second language) students
from Vietnam to form one NS-NNS dyad and three NNS-NNS
dyads. As the results of this study suggested, instances of the
modified interaction were more frequently found in the story
reconstruction task than in the information gap activity. In
addition, the former contributed to more dynamic interactions
than the latter, such as knowledge scaffolds, opinion exchange,
assistance request, and clarification request. Pedagogically
speaking, using tasks and SCMC causes modified negotiations that
potentially provide learners with great opportunities to enhance
