概要 This presentation 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 Japanese as a lingu franca (JLF) interaction opportunities for both L1 and L2 Japanese speakers. Following an overview of the project, the presentation 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 presentation concludes with implications for Japanese as a foreign language learning and teaching.
