AB - In this research, I used lifestory interviewing as research method in order to overcome the difficulties inherent in investigations that focus on Japanese language learners overseas. Specifically, I analyzed the data of the lifestory interview with Elodie - a Japanese language learner from France - from the perspective of the way in which she experiences language learning and language using, and of the meaning she attaches to these experiences; I centered my description around the connection between Japanese language learning, language using, and motivation. Thus, it became clear that Elodie’s motivation towards learning and using the Japanese language is unstable and changes according to the way in which she perceives language learning and language using, and the link between them, and, as a consequence, according to which of the two she attaches greater importance to; moreover, the instability of Elodie’s motivation concerning Japanese language learning and using influences to a great extent the formation of her image of the future. Also, in order to overcome the problems that arise when dealing with Japanese language learners, I interpreted the data from the point of view of the learner’s inner “diversity”. As a result, it became evident that the accumulation of experiences of coming into contact with the Japanese language is crucial in forming the learner’s current inner “diversity”, and that changes in the learning environment triggered an acknowledgment of the inner “diversity” on the part of the learner herself. Based on these findings and interpretations, I suggest that it is necessary for those involved in Japanese language education overseas to look at the learners from the perspective of their inner “diversity”.
