This study analyzes how second language and first language speakers of Norwegian recruit assistance with linguistic items in a video-mediated setting by engaging the chat function. Using the method longitudinal conversation analysis to track one dyad, the findings illustrate how the recruitment methods become more conventionalized and fine-tuned over time. The recruiting turns become more specific regarding the repair method, the chat-based activity is less foreshadowed by verbal talk, and accordingly the participants recognize this activity without it being explicated. The study shows how a social practice emerges and develops as part of the participants’ context-specific interactional competence in a video-mediated setting.
