Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study aimed to investigate 1) a process of L2 users' identity construction and 2) the relationships between L2 users' identity construction and pragmatic language use. The participants in the study were three Japanese users of English who took part in long-term study abroad programmes in different parts of the world. Regarding Aim 1, the study revealed that while L2 users interact with others, they utilize diverse linguistic, cultural and semiotic resources in the mutual process of constructing and negotiating identities. Meanwhile, as for Aim 2, a sufficient outcome was not produced within the limited research period. However, the study suggested an efficiency of integrating narrative approach and interactional analysis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の主たる学術的意義は、長期留学における実際の言語使用という観点から、これまでのL2学習者のidentity研究を補完する点にあった。長期留学しているL2学習者がいかなる状況で、また具体的にどのように肯定的identity を構築しているのかを解明をすることは、いわゆるグローバル人材育成や大学教育における海外留学プログラムの改善に資する知見の導出につながるものと考えられる。この点に、本研究の社会的意義が認められる。
