Our analysis focuses on the relationship between learners’ self-efficacy (i.e. personal judgments of second language performance capabilities) and discourse roles displayed in the online medium. A small corpus of data was selected as a sample from a larger study, comprising one face-to-face interaction (FtF2) and one synchronous text-based chat interaction (SCMC2) between two participants: Celine, a high-self-efficacy (HSE) learner, and Concetta, a low-self-efficacy (LSE) learner. The chat-log and conversation transcript were analyzed by employing: (a) quantitative measures of participation; namely words and turns produced by the participants, (b) Dörnyei and Kormos’s (1998) taxonomy of Communication Strategies, and (c) Eggins and Slade’s (2004) classification of speech functions. Our results suggest that speech functions are indeed effective at describing the social roles enacted by learners during interaction across the two media, in terms of discourse dependence or independence, as well as dominance. Therefore, by complementing other methods, such as quantitative measures of participation and qualitative analyses of communication strategies, speech functions can contribute toprovid-  \nAffiliations  \n1Flinders University, Australia.  \n[email: olga.castro@flinders.edu.au](email: olga.castro@flinders.edu.au)  \n[2](2Flinders University)[Flinders University](2Flinders University), Australia.  \n[email: antonella.strambi@flinders.edu.au](email: antonella.strambi@flinders.edu.au)  \ncalico journal vol 34.2 2017 219–242 [https://doi.org/10.1558/cj.26389](https://doi.org/10.1558/cj.26389)  \n©2017, equinox publishing   \n220 Researching Learner Self-Efficacy  \ning a comprehensive picture of the relationship between SCMC, learners’ selfefficacy, and participation patterns.  \nKeywords: computer-mediated communication; self-efficacy; speech functions; communication strategies; second language learning  \n1. Introduction  \nThis study explores the contribution of Eggins and Slade’s (2004) Speech Functions to research into learners’ participation patterns in second language (L2) interaction, with a focus on the relationship between learners’ self-efficacy and social roles enacted in the online medium. Eggins and Slade’s (2004) Speech Functions have been referred to previously in studies investigating the opportunities for interaction and collaboration afforded by Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) . Some of the variables that have been studied from a systemic-functional linguistic perspective include:  \n• the construction of social presence and community building, including uses of humor (e.g. Rourke, Anderson, Garrison, & Archer, 2007);  \n• the dynamics involved in argumentation and, more generally, features of CMC as a medium for communication (e.g. Bock, 2013; Coffin, North, & Martin, 2009);  \n• interactants’ roles in academic discourse, especially in expert–novice relationships (e.g. Jones, Garralda, Li, & Lock, 2006; Yim, 2005) .  \nHowever, very few of these studies have focused on L2 learners. Furthermore, to our knowledge, Eggins and Slade’s (2004) Speech Functions have never been used to describe learner participation patterns with a view to clarifying the relationship between L2 self-efficacy and CMC. This study aims to contribute to filling this gap, in an attempt to arrive at a better understanding of this relationship, for the benefit of L2 learners and practitioners.  \n2.
