Amanda Hoskins is a PhD student at Linköping University focusing on how task design influences EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students' interactions and task accomplishment. Her dissertation addresses pedagogical practices in EFL classrooms, examining how structured tasks, such as monologues and interview-like formats, facilitate various interaction patterns among learners. The research highlights the impact of specific materials, including instruction cards and cut-out pictures, on students’ collaborative interactions and development of interactional competence. She employs multimodal conversation analysis in her studies, drawing on video recordings of dyadic interactions among students in upper secondary school.
