Outline of Final Research Achievements

Of the audio-recordings of interactions and interviews (made at two sites: 1) an English-medium class in an undergraduate and graduate Business Administration programme, 2) an international training programme for health professionals from Asian countries), about 30% have been transcribed and 20% have been analysed. The analysis consisted of word and word group frequency, and manual coding of conversation analytic (CA) categories. The progress has been impeded due to lack of time to devote to research. The project is being continued.
The preliminary results have been presented at the 3rd and 4th Waseda ELF International Workshops, in March and November 2014, and an article is being prepared for the Journal of English as a Lingua Franca.
