Spontaneous interaction and clarification develops sustaining an unscripted exchange through follow-up and repair. Learners notice authentic language, rehearse useful patterns, communicate real meaning, interpret cultural and textual choices, repair misunderstandings and reflect on evidence of growth.
Example
A strong spontaneous interaction and clarification response is understandable and context-appropriate, responds to another person or text, uses repair when needed and treats language and culture as varied rather than uniform.
