Details | This paper attempts to characterize L1 Japanese speakers’ roles perceived in contact situations and their behaviors in project-based interactions with Japanese learners, by analyzing two sets of video-recorded three-person conversation data in a pseudo multicultural co-learning setting. In the analysis, the focus is on the L1 speakers’ speakership/listenership behaviors in relation to their role perceptions, attitudes and awareness investigated from their remarks made in the follow-up interviews. Particular attention is given to the language behaviors represented by the utterance ratio, and the use of aizuchi (backchannelling) and interrogative expressions in contact situations. The contrastive analysis result of the two data sets is presented as potential pedagogical implications for multicultural co-learning practice. |
