| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on Japanese university students who participated in an intensive study abroad program and subsequently undertook a one-academic-year overseas study as exchange students, this study examined the processes in which they developed L2 academic literacy and intercultural competence as well as transformed their identities. A further investigation was made about the ways they managed academic participation and job hunting activities back in their home university in Japan and then socialized themselves into their professions after graduating from a university. The findings suggest that students’ development of academic literacy, intercultural competence, and identities enables them to evaluate various linguistic and cultural contact phenomena critically and deal with them constructively. This study also indicates that such management of cultural contact contributes to their applying their own literacy in professional situations and developing situated identities.
