Measuring Interactional Competence in a Japanese University EFL Speaking Context

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
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 ...

Changed Minds and L2 Motivation: Reflections of Japanese EFL Students Living, Laboring and Learning in Vietnam

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
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

Entangled Discourses and Realities of English: Japanese Undergraduates’ Everyday Online and Offline Language Experiences

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
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 ...

Integrated LEO Constellation and In‐Cabin Distribution System for Continuous Aircraft 5G Connectivity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 594-606, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The integration of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations with commercial aircraft communication systems presents critical challenges in maintaining continuous connectivity during dynamic flight conditions. Current geostationary satellite systems suffer from high round‐trip latency ( > 500 ms) and inadequate coverage at high latitudes,
