Centered on the theme of "Interactional Competence Revealed Through Conversation Analysis: A Focus on Japanese Conversations Involving Chinese Speakers," this lecture delves into the conversational characteristics and interactional strategies demonstrated by native Chinese speakers within Japanese communicative contexts. Through the structural analysis of authentic conversation data, the session guides participants to understand how language users navigate dialogue, deploy interactional strategies, and manage various factors that influence communication outcomes. It further highlights both the competence and the pragmatic challenges faced by Japanese language learners during cross-linguistic interactions. Bridging theoretical research with practical linguistic analysis, this lecture not only deepens the understanding of Japanese conversational proficiency but also offers fresh pedagogical perspectives on communicative skills. It is highly recommended for faculty and students interested in Japanese language education, applied linguistics, and intercultural communication.
