| Research Abstract |
The present research project has accomplished four main goals. First, it compared structures of written arguments between the Japanese and the U.S. people, identifying differences that are consistent with intercultural theories of communication. Second, it successfully identified two individual-level factors, one situational and the other trait, that explain differences in structures of written arguments. Third, it examined perceptions of the qualities of written arguments among Japanese people. Fourth, based on the findings of the present research project, it successfully developed materials for teaching how to structure arguments in English to college students.
