“…After repeating the topical phrase, Hasebe produces the change of state token a! ‘oh’ (Endo, 2018; Heritage, 1984) and an utterance that appears to indicate her recognition of what was meant by izen no shashin ‘the previous photo’ (line 2). Subsequently, she explicitly states her inability to continue with the instruction (line 4), and starts silently reading the note entry by tracing the lines by her right index finger as if indicating the progression of her reading (line 5, Figure 1).…”

Japan's rapidly aging population and chronic labor shortages have led the country to consider increased reliance on foreign workers. The government promotes the cultivation of nihongo jinzai ‘Japanese language human resources’ (MOFA, 2013), that is, highly skilled foreign workers proficient in the de facto national language, but in reality, such ideal individuals are scarce. Workplaces thus must explore ways to accommodate workers with limited Japanese competence. By introducing a sequential and multimodal analysis of shift handover interaction between Japanese and foreign care workers at a geriatric facility, the current article critically evaluates the monolingual, logocentric ideology reflected in the ongoing national debate as well as in the institutional convention of information sharing. The examination of the ways in which these workers deploy multimodal semiotic resources for the fulfillment of their duty points to the need for reevaluation of conventional practices in favor of increased affordance of spatial repertoire.

“….] her locally current state of knowledge’ (Heritage, 1984: 229), while showing that she has previous knowledge about the instructable (see Endo, 2018, for her thorough analysis of a/aa in Japanese conversations), and terminates the sequence with soh des’ ka (it is so). TEA’s bodily arrangement exhibits the gradual shift of his orientation from the current activity to the next one.…”

Employing conversation analysis, this article investigates instructions in lessons for guitar and Japanese calligraphy. In receiving an instruction, the students in the guitar lessons are expected to immediately follow the instruction. In contrast to the guitar lessons, the students in the calligraphy lessons are not institutionally expected to immediately follow the teacher’s instructions but to receive them. However, the students often gesticulate what they learned from and could make sense of the prior instruction upon completion of an instruction activity. I call this phenomenon embodied solitary confirmation. By demonstrating the interactional procedure for this practice, this article respecifies reflection as an interactional phenomenon and elucidates an organization of multiactivity.
