## Abstract

Résumé La présente étude vise à contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de la relation entre l’acquisition d’une langue seconde (L2) et l’évolution des rapports sociaux que l’apprenant·e entretient avec autrui. Ancrée dans l’Analyse Conversationnelle, l’investigation porte sur la manière dont Julie, fille au pair et apprenante de français L2, répond aux évaluations produites par Marie, ‘mère’ d’accueil, au cours d’une période de neuf mois. Nous observons un changement dans les pratiques et ressources de Julie qui ne peut être interprété comme un simple reflet du développement de sa L2, mais est indissociablement lié à l’évolution du rapport social entre Julie et Marie sur les plans affectif et épistémique. Les résultats montrent comment l’usage langagier et les potentiels d’acquisition qui y sont associés sont affectés par l’histoire interactionnelle partagée entre l’apprenante et son interlocutrice et mettent en relief la nature coconstruite des occasions d’utilisation et, par extension, de développement de la L2.
