Japanese Discourse Study for Developing the Teaching Method of Conversation

本研究的目的是为了提高日语学习者的交际能力，从日语的角度出发，从语言和非语言两个方面进行适当的对话。为此，我们确定并检查了可能导致学习者在日语对话中“不自然”的语言和非语言行为，基于课堂上多次录制的“会话测验”视频中的数据。在测试中，学习者与教师进行交流，以达到自己的目的，如传递信息、请求许可、请教师写推荐信等。此外，我们还比较分析了日语本族语者与学习者在相同情境下话语的异同。此外，本研究的目的是为了使“会话测验”成为一种更有效的日语会话教学方法而进行的。会话结束语研究2.会话测验的有效性研究3。会话中听话者的角色研究

The purpose of this research is to develop teaching methods to improve Japanese learners' communication proficiency in carrying out a conversation appropriate from the Japanese point of view, both in verbal and non-verbal aspects.For this purpose, we identified and examined verbal and non-verbal behaviors which could cause the learners'"unnaturalness" in the Japanese conversation, based on data derived from the video of "conversation quiz" recorded several times in class. In the quiz, a learner communicated with a teacher to accomplish his or her purposes such as giving messages, asking for permission, asking a teacher to write a recommendation letter, and so on. Furthermore, we compared and analyzed differences and similarities found between the discourse of Japanese native speakers and the learners in the same situations.Also, the evaluation of "conversation quiz" was conducted to enhance it to a more effective teaching method of the conversation in Japanese.Our research can be categorized into the following three parts :1. Research on the closing part of conversation2. Research on effectiveness of "conversation quiz"3. Research on the roles of listeners in conversation
