Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed teaching materials which are designed to enable students to learn the basic methods of conversational data analysis and to promote their interactional competence autonomously. We mainly analyzed the following conversations: (1) Listener's skills in interviews,(2) Topic divisions in first-time native/native conversations,(3) first-time Japanese native/native, Japanese/Korean and Japanese/Chinese conversations,(4)Roleplay between Japanese and Chinese workers,(5) Job interviews participated in by Japanese language learners, (6) Japanese narratives among three native speakers, and among a Japanese native speaker and three Chinese native speakers,(7) Online discussions by Chinese students,(8) The evolution of research on discussions. Based on these analyses, we developed and published“The practice of conversation data analysis: analyzing conversations around you” Nakanishiya Publishing, 2022, and shared it with practitioners in various teaching fields.
