among learners of Japanese as a second language. Qualitative data

explain changes in their interactional competence and provides
specific insights into the learning of Japanese. The situated
analysis of multiple data sets generates meaningful interpretations
of the development of interactional competence in the development
of interactional competence and the learner-specific factors that
shape developmental trajectories. Moreover, the context of the
research provides insights into the types of learning resources and
experiences that study abroad provides to assist learners' in their
progress towards becoming a competent speaker in the target
community.
