| Research Abstract |
The speaking data during daily routine within the offshore offices of Japanese companies was collected. Also, scenes at work sites were videotaped. A few tendencies can be perceived from the data. In addition to the data, some university students were taken to an overseas internship in Singapore. Their speaking data was also recorded. Using the data, tendencies of their English usage, including ways to deal with problems, changes of their English and attitudes before and after the internship were analyzed. This data can be used to aid in the education of English at universities in Japan.
