| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In Japan, opportunities to experience English in everyday situations are rare, so one innovative institution has created a simulated environment where students can experience English in realistically reproduced settings, such as a pharmacy, a hotel or an airplane. Unlike the real world though, this approach provides learners with a sanctuary, a safe place to experiment and play with language without fearing actual consequences for their mistakes. Conversation Analysts and language teachers, we are interested in the kind of interaction that goes on in this rather unique setting, and how it provides opportunities for learning that don't always exist in normal language classrooms. We are also investigating experiential language learning in other settings, such as cooking classes, VR games and in mundane talk beyond the classroom.

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
以上にあるように、この繰越た分の目的は、第二言語学習のための会話分析分野の専門研究者の国際学会に予備的な研究成果を報告することであり、バルセロナでのICOP-L2会議、および国内とオンラインの会議でそれを実現しました。もちろん、2023年にオーストラリア・ブリスベンで開催されるICCA会議など、他の国際会議でも引き続き成果を発表していく予定です。
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
ICOP-L2で発表した解析は、今後も継続して取り組む予定で、一部はすでに査読付きジャーナルに原稿として提出されています。その他の研究はまだ開発中であり、来年以降もこれらのテーマに取り組んでいく予定です。
