Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project we collected over 100 hours of audio-visual recording data of English spoken in naturally-occurring intercultural interactions involving Japanese and people of other backgrounds, with a view to creating a searchable corpus. Over 40 hours of data were transcribed in simple format, and over an hour of data was further transcribed in conversation analysis (CA) format. We used CA to identify communicative practices used in concrete contextualized instances. These identified practices included topic management, conversational story-telling, conversational repair, discursive construction of identities, and shifting participation frameworks , through verbal and nonverbal means. It is envisaged that future work can employ the data, analyses and insights gained from this project in creating sociologically, interactionally and linguistically realistic teaching materials for English education in Japan.
