This study examines how younger non-native and native children interact in different settings and how the interaction contributes to L2 development. The conversation data of four children in four settings were collected and analyzed. The analyses of the data show that younger children employ various negotiation strategies depending on the situational settings, and that there is a different proportion in use of negotiation strategies according to the settings. The quantitative analyses of interactions show that the children use more clarification and confirmation strategies in doing the two-way task, while there is more negative feedback including recasts for the cooperation task. The qualitative analyses of interactions show that the children have access to more comprehensible input, negative evidence, and produce more comprehensible output through negotiation for meaning. Further, they suggest that negative evidence is an aspect of non-native and native children interaction and that it can have a crucial effect on restructuring the learner’s interlanguage system.
