Organisation of the Panel "Beyond Communicative Competence - initial remarks and joint discussions on what we know and where we are going" at the Atypical Interaction Conference 2022

Description

The concept of communicative competence has long attracted a range of discussion from different disciplines. Beside individualistic approaches that claim that communicative competence is mainly located in the individual’s cognitive or bodily abilities, we can also find more interactional approaches that focus on situational, relational, and collaborative constructions of competences. Rather than revisiting past discussions, the panel aims to identify current challenges and future research agendas in which communicative competences are relevant, with a particular focus on EMCA research. We will discuss
- How do organizational agendas and ongoing interaction shape the production and recognition of communicative competences?
- How do objects and technologies, such as measurement scales or communication aids, interplay in the situated achievement of communicative competence?
- How can we follow communicative competence across contexts?
- How can EMCA knowledge be used for intervention to support people’s competences in establishing intersubjectivity?
- How does the concept of communicative competence enrich or limit our view on interaction with atypical populations?
These questions will be explored in an inclusive, active, and creative format of join discussions with the panels participants framed by four initial remarks (10 minutes each). The discussion will be organised in groups and steered by the panel organisers.
