Learner strategies and learner interviews

Eloise Pearson

Eloise Pearson teaches at Sophia University, Tokyo.

This article describes a series of interviews between the author and a number of Japanese speakers of English as a second language. The interviewees were men on long-term job assignments in South East Asia. All but two of the interviews took place on site. The initial aims of the interviews were to determine the uses to which the interviewees put English; to identify the conditions under which they used English; and to characterize in general terms their life styles while living and working outside Japan. However, the results were also found to be interesting in relation to the interviewees' second-language learning strategies in general, and in relation to certain implications of those strategies for classroom content and methodology.
