| Research Abstract |
This research tried to examine the phenomenon and the mechanism of the breakdown, failure and repair that arise when a Japanese EFL learner communicates, and considered synthetically the relation between linguistic competence, emotions, gestures, and strategies. Moreover, this investigated what kind of difference is seen compared with Asians when Japanese people performed intercultural communication with an English native speaker.
As data, communication tasks and pair conversation in English which participants performed were recorded with IC recorders and video cameras, and analyzed from the viewpoint of gestures, strategies and emotions. The questionnaire survey was also implemented. In addition, use of effective strategies, the function of gesture, and the relation between L1 and L2 and the influence of gesture into English conversation were investigated.
