Abstract	This paper examines explicitness in English as lingua franca (ELF) spoken interactions. Using a conversation analysis procedure, about 11h of audio-recorded naturally occuring ELF interactions of 79 incoming Erasmus students were analyzed for this purpose. The corpus was compiled by means of 54 speech events, 29 interviews and 25 focus group meetings and the participants represented 24 mother tongues. Research into ELF reveals that ELF speakers tend to use various "explicitness strategies" (Mauranen, 2007) in order to enhance intelligibility. The findings of this study show that there are indeed variations from standard ENL forms with respect to the degree of explicitness in spoken interactions. There is a tendency among ELF speakers to make the meaning more explicit for the listeners. Repetitions of same expressions in subsequent sentences, use of over-explicit forms, use of an extra subject following a relative clause and use of emphatic reference are the emerging patterns observed in this study.
