| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Interview data collected from 13 high school students returning from English-speaking countries were analyzed using an interpretive phenomenological analysis method after quantitative lexical analysis. The results revealed that the students who returned to Japan after spending their childhood in English-speaking countries experienced some bullying and neglect in the process of re-settling down into the Japanese society and school life in Japan, but by attending foreign language retention classes and mixing with peers who had similar experiences, they were able to identify themselves as belonging to a unique culture that was neither English-speaking nor Japanese culture. In other words, it turned out that they identity themeselves as third culture kids. The results revealed that even in a world where globalization is advancing at such a rapid pace, the situation has not changed much from what returnees faced 40 years ago when they returned to their home countries.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
英語圏からの帰国高校生13人から収集したインタビューデータを、量的語彙分析後、解釈的現象学的分析手法を用いて分析した。その結果、幼少期を英語圏で過ごした後で帰国した生徒達は、日本社会や日本での学校生活に適用する過程でいじめや無視を多少なりとも体験するが、外国語保持教室に通って同様の体験をした仲間と交わることで、英語圏文化でも日本文化でもない独自の文化に所属している、つまりthird culture kidとしてのアイデンティティに繋がっている事が判明した。これだけグローバル化が進む世の中でも、まだまだ40年前の帰国生が直面した日本帰国時の状況から大きく変わっていない事が詳らかになった。
