Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this study, we have developed an educational model to cultivate intercultural communication skills, such as the ability to assess situations and select language actions (actions) that bring desired effects and results based on appropriate awareness in daily situations in which people with multicultural backgrounds work together. Through the process of Description and Interpretation of one's own linguistic behavior, one's awareness is clarified, and through training in specific interaction (practical dialogue), one's awareness (interpretation/evaluation) is changed. In the final year of the research period, we conducted a demonstration experiment with the cooperation of a private company, in which we applied a test tool to measure the level of cross-cultural understanding, conducted training based on the results, and conducted follow-up interviews.
Free Research Field	留学生教育
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究が開発した教育モデルは、従来の外国文化を固定して、その特徴を理解することを前提とした異文化マネジメント研究の視点とは一線を画する。また、留学生のコミュニケーション能力をより日本の商習慣や企業文化、伝統的な社風に「近づける」のではなく、企業内の変化を提言することを主旨とするものであり、今後大きく変容を強いられる国内企業において必要な提言が含まれている。
