Measuring Interactional Competence in a Japanese University EFL Speaking Context
ABSTRACT The ability to interact is an integral aspect of speaking proficiency. Therefore, methods of assessing interaction need to be incorporated into second language (L2) speaking tests. The main purpose of this exploratory study is to attempt to quantify interactional competence (IC) in a Japanese university EFL (English as a foreign language ...

ABSTRACT English as a lingua franca (ELF) is increasingly used for communication in many EFL contexts, including Vietnam. Although Japan and Vietnam have a long history of economic cooperation, for practical reasons, English typically functions as the medium of communication between the two groups. This study examines Japanese expats who had studied or

ABSTRACT Focusing on the narratives of two Japanese undergraduate students, this article examines their everyday experiences of using and learning English, situated within entangled relations of power. Drawing on the Foucauldian notion of discourse, the study reveals how multiple power/knowledge systems—such as native speakerism, prescriptivism ...
