概要 This paper first overviews an online conversation project involving two US universities and one Japanese university conducted during the pandemic-affected immobile semester in 2021. This virtual project aimed to provide JLF interaction opportunities for both L1 and L2 Japanese speakers. Following an overview of the project, the paper analyzes the post-conversation survey and interviews to explore how L1 speakers (n=6) and L2 learners (n=7) perceive JLF interactions. The results demonstrate an overall positive reaction from both L1 and L2 speakers, who regarded it as an enjoyable experience. They also reveal some individual-level differences in terms of nervousness, naturalness, successfulness, and difficulties that the speakers felt during the interactions. The paper concludes with implications for Japanese as a foreign language learning and teaching.
