| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
My research for the past three years has considered issues relating to how genders interact with each other, and in differences in fluency. I found differences in speaking times and fluency rates. I also studied issues in acoustic and lexical dysfluency. In my first papers and presentations, I studied same-sex interactions and compared them with gendered discourse. Furthermore, I identified the most prominent areas of dysfluency for Japanese EFL learners in one paper. I also examined in two presentations, through the development of a gendered attitude survey, how the genders view each other, and how often they interact with one another. The other research areas I examined included minimal responses, grammatical accuracy in spontaneous language and authentic language. In short, 13 papers / presentations were conducted, including plenary and keynote addresses.
