| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explored the nature and development of Japanese university students' ability to interact and achieve understanding in conversations-for-learning in an EFL classroom. Data for the study was gathered using an innovative tool, the head-held digital camcorder, and analyzed using special qualitative research software. From this data, which was transcribed by bilingual research assistants, further insights were gained into how students achieve "intersubjectivity," "change-of-state," and "multimodal communication." Following a Conversation Analysis (CA) analytic approach, the researcher was able to demonstrate the wide variety of vocal, nonvocal, material, and multimodal resources students were employing in conversations-for-learning to achieve understanding with their interlocutors. These findings helped develop a research-informed pedagogy for future application. The researcher intends to explore the effectiveness of this informed pedagogy in subsequent GIA studies.
