| Research Abstract |
This 3-year project examined what Japanese non-native-English speakers negotiating at international university Model United Nations (MUN) with native and other non-native speakers of English are lacking. This research was accomplished in three stages: 1) By critically evaluating English ELT materials on negotiation for non-native English speakers-identifying what vocabulary, grammar and functions are being targeted, the rationale and data sources. 2) Scholars collaborated with spoken corpus experts and four corpora began to be constructed. MUN negotiation data was collected from native English speakers and non-native English speakers in Japan, Europe and Asia; 3) Through applied conversation analysis, an analytical framework studying the orders of talk-in-interaction, we were able to learn how social acts in MUN negotiation are packaged and delivered in linguistic terms.
