ABSTRACT

Japanese Listeners’ Linguistic Behavior of Japanese learners and native speakers on Distance Contact Situation utilizing ICT The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze and review through comparison of how Korean learners of Japanese and native speakers of Japanese operate Listeners' Language Behavior in the remote contact situation utilizing the video conference system which can provide a vision and an audio at the same time unlike the telephone call which provides an audio only. The main results of the analysis and review are as follows. 1. In terms of the use of Aizuchi (Back-channels; Responsive tokens), Korean Japanese learners are found to use them 2 times or more in the in-person contact situation (33.8%) than in the remote contact situation (16.3%). In contrast, native speakers are found to use them more frequently in the remote contact situation (83.7%) than in the in-person contact situation (66.2%). 2. In terms of the appearance position of Aizuchi (Back-channels, Responsive tokens), both Japanese learners and native speakers show a higher frequency rate ‘when utterances shift' than ‘during the other speaker’s utterances' in the remote contact situation, whereas show a higher rate ‘during the other speaker’s utterances' than ‘when utterances shift' in the in-person contact situation. Furthermore, even though it was limited to one learner, the use of co-construction responses while utterances shift has been observed, which confirms learners’ various usages of Aizuchi, like native speakers do, regardless whether it is remote or in-person. 3. In terms of the expression type and function of Aizuchi, both Japanese learners and native speaker are found to use emotional back-channel expressions and conceptional back-channel expressions most frequently. Regardless of the contact situation and the appearance position, native speakers are found to use Aizuchi more frequently than Japanese learners. Further, regardless of the contact situation, the native speakers use the 'consent' or 'understanding' function when utterances shift, thereby set up a base for the next utterance, whereas they actively use the 'listening' function ‘during the other speaker’s utterances', thereby facilitate the other speaker’s ongoing discourse. 4. It is confirmed that in the remote contact situation, Japanese learners tend not to use the target language whereas native speakers show a frequent use of it.
