'Listening is not a passive activity, but an active one', would be a concept widely accepted by many researchers. One of the evidences supporting the concept of listeners' active participation is 'back channeling'. Listeners not only 'perceive and recognize' a given message, but they 'feed back' their evaluation of it by responding with a short utterable, such as 'yes' or 'huh'. This study is conducted to examine the listeners' back-channel performance and to reveal the strategies in the use of back channels in an intercultural conversation between Japanese and a native speaker of English so as to gather the fundamental data for developing more interactive machines in language laboratories.
