| Research Abstract |
I approached structures of seminar dialogues in order to find a proper Japanese languag e teching method for foreign students in Scientific and Engineering Department.
The Research process is shown as followings.
1.Corpus of seminar dialogues : I made 20 video recordings (20 hours) of post graduate seminars in the Scientific and Engineering Department at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
2.Analysis : Through observation of video recordings, I analyzed dialogues between Japanese professors and foreign students whose Japanese language abilities are classified into elementary, Intermediate and advanced levels.
3.Result : Through this analysis, I have noticed that lower language ability level students have more troubles with lexical and pragmatic problems including as social attitudes. On the other hand, high language ability level students have problems in discourse level.
However, scientific and technical students have more advantage than students in other fields. They can communicate easily when they know a scientific concept and even do not know a corresponding word in target language (Japanese) because scientific terms are definite. They can notice the proper meaning by referring a Japanese technical word to the word in their mother tange or English.
