Research Note

Ritsumeikan University Campus Asia Program (CAP) is an educational program jointly operated by Ritsumeikan University, Dongseo University in South Korea, and Guandong University of Foreign Studies in China, with the aim to develop individuals who will work internationally equipped with cultural and historical understanding of East Asia. We know very little about the reality of how students make skillful use of multilingual resources when they share three languages, namely, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean (four languages when English is included) and learn together with other students in the program. Therefore, the present study sought to explore both professors’ and students’ language use through the narratives of students of the CAP first-year cohort. The study found that Japanese CAP students were using three languages (occasionally English as well) flexibly. At CAP, students’ needs in classes called for mutual support by translanguaging; in addition, inevitable communication practices and training due to the “necessity, eagerness, and enrichment” also gradually led them to develop their conscious and diverse communication strategies.
