The purpose of this project is to examine the acquisition of extended discourse skills in Japanese learners of English by studying oral and written narratives. In the first four years of the project (FY2018-FY2021), elicited narratives of two types (i.e., Frog Story & Balloon Story) were collected from Japanese university students at three universities and three different proficiency levels. Comparisons were made with data gathered in earlier studies from native speakers of Japanese and English as well as Japanese-English bilingual speakers (e.g., Nakamura, 1990, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014). The narratives were analyzed from the perspective of affect and evaluation, expression of motion events, and narrative organization (e.g., referential strategies).In FY2022, data collection continued with oral narratives, collecting stories in the classroom and online. Data analysis has progressed further, looking at differences in narrative (e.g., referential structure, motion expressions) in the L2 narratives due to proficiency level (advanced, intermediate, and elementary). In particular, findings regarding expressions of motion events were presented and published this year. The ability to use strategies often used in expressions of motion in English, such as manner verbs and multiple path segments/ ground elements, was better at higher proficiency levels. Differences in rhetorical style (e.g., static scene-setting vs. motion descriptions) were also observed.

本研究的目的是研究日本英语学习者通过学习口头和书面叙述来学习扩展语篇技巧。在项目的前四年（FY2018-FY2021），从三所大学和三种不同熟练程度的日本大学生中收集了两种类型（即青蛙故事和气球故事）的引出叙事。与早期从日语和英语母语者以及日语和英语双语者（例如，Nakamura, 1990, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014）中收集的数据进行比较。从情感与评价、运动事件的表达和叙事组织（如参照策略）三个方面对叙事进行分析。在2022财年，继续以口头叙述的方式收集数据，在课堂和网上收集故事。数据分析已经取得了进一步的进展，研究了二语熟练程度（高级、中级和初级）在叙述（例如，参考结构、动作表达）方面的差异。特别是，关于运动事件表达的研究结果在今年提出并发表。在英语运动表达中常用的策略的使用能力，如方式动词和多路径段/地面元素，水平越高越好。在修辞风格上的差异（例如，静态场景设置与运动描述）也被观察到。
