一般注記Inspired by a story told by Professor Saito about an EFL learner's intercultural conflict experience in post-war Japan, the author analyzes critical moments in intercultural communication from the perspective of socio-cultural theory. In these moments, the learner understands the conceptual meaning or cultural and historical significance of words to the interlocutor. In other words, the learner's knowledge of the dictionary meaning of a word becomes enriched through interpersonal communication. Since intercultural conflicts usually involve emotional reactions, the language embedded in the scene is likely to be memorized as an embodied experience. The author further discusses the nature of language learning in intercultural contact scenes as lived experience and demonstrates how these scenes can compliment structured classroom learning.
