三十多年来，澳大利亚与日本一直保持着稳定而牢固的商业关系。事实上，就澳大利亚的重要出口市场而言，日本位居第一。因此，可以假设，在微观层面上，更多澳大利亚侨民驻扎在日本的可能性将增加，以促进澳大利亚和日本公司之间的商业交流和交易。随着包括澳大利亚人和日本人在日本一起工作的跨国工作场所的创建，澳大利亚侨民越来越需要具备语言和文化能力。虽然跨文化交际研究2已经确认了这一点，但尽管澳大利亚对日语教育进行了投资，但与日语熟练程度有关的这些调查结果的实施及其如何促进澳日工作场所的交流似乎是零星的。
Australia has maintained a steady and strong business relationship with Japan for over three decades. In fact, Japan ranks first in terms of important export markets1 for Australia. As a result, it can be assumed that, on a micro-level, the possibility of more expatriates from Australia being stationed in Japan will increase to facilitate business communication and transactions between Australian and Japanese companies. With the creation of multinational workplaces, including Australians and Japanese working together in Japan, comes an increasing necessity for Australian expatriates to have linguistic and cultural competence. While this has been identified in intercultural communication research2, the implementations of such findings related to Japanese language proficiency and how it benefits Australian-Japanese workplace communication is seemingly sporadic despite the investment into Japanese language education by Australia.
