| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to elucidate how Japanese learners of English actually learn from each other through meaningful oral exchanges in English, we recorded learners' activities in what we call "oral response practice," in which learners are organized into groups of three, and one of them would read aloud a question printed on a small card (twice to make it easier for the other parties to understand) and another would have ten seconds to think and 45 seconds to respond to it, and the third one would serve as the "time keeper" and "recorder" with a video camera or an IC recorder or a 360 degree video camera in hand. After a response is given, the three parties each evaluate it and then exchange their roles. Each year, about 60 to 80 learners forming 25 groups or so engaged in this activity every week for 30 weeks and five years of this project culminated in about 1,800 hours of those recordings that include rich instances of lexical and syntactic priming, synchronization, attunement and entrainment.
