Outline of Research at the Start

The goal of this research project is to increase behavioral repertoire of communication strategies from engaging in the classroom negotiation exercise evaluated by variables of cultural intelligence (CQ), willingness to communicate (WTC) and sociolinguistics variables related to listener and speaker communication strategies. The aim of this project is to identify Japanese students' challenges and to attend their needs in their linguistic expression of negotiation strategies in English across cultures in order to provide them tools to enhance their intercultural competences in a global setting.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The findings of this study showed that there were significant differences in the use of silence, conversation distribution, and questioning strategies between the different cultural groups. Initial findings suggested that Japanese students at Hiroshima University and international students from Asian countries preferred less explicit language expressions and strategies that emphasized creating a harmonious atmosphere. On the other hand, Dutch students tended to prefer more explicit and direct language approaches in negotiation behavior. The CQ and discourse analysis results demonstrated how Japanese students need to improve their intercultural communication skills internationally on the global stage and acquire internationally effective language strategies and more explicit and direct language approaches.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

この研究プロジェクトの目的は、日本人学生による文化を超えた英語での異文化交渉戦略の言語表現に関する課題を特定することである。異なる文化的背景を持つ大学生が、多文化共修の授業環境において、沈黙、話の配分、質問の仕方といった特定の言語戦略を交渉戦略としてどのように活用しているのかを分析した。この研究結果により、日本人学生がグローバルな環境で異文化能力を向上させ、効果的な異文化交渉戦略のツールを提案した。
