Outline of Final Research Achievements

We collected data of naturally-occurring ELF interactions. In total, we recruited 18 Japanese participants and 18 foreign participants of eight nationalities. With these participants, 20 online conversations were conducted via Zoom and recorded. Each participant was interviewed independently following their conversation. Our findings shed light on Japanese lower-proficiency English learners’ (1) communicative capabilities, their (2) attitudes and beliefs, use of (3) verbal and non-verbal strategies, use of (4) accommodation strategies, use of (5) translanguaging, (6) extended other-initiated repair sequences, (7) intercultural phenomena, and (8) implications and suggestions for ELF-informed pedagogy and assessment. We also conducted two ELF assessment workshops where we shared our suggestions for communication strategy training and assessment based on our findings. In addition, we created an online ELF corpus to promote and share our data with other researchers and teachers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

We have shed greater light on the communicative capabilities of Japanese lower-proficiency English learners in English as a Lingua Franca contexts by providing (a) a better theoretical understanding of their strengths and challenges and (b) pedagogical applications to address their learning needs.
