Many Japanese speakers find some uneasiness in the way non-native speakers end conversations with them. What causes the "unnaturalness"? Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology implements various conversation activities with foreign researchers in its Japanese language courses. One of the most challenging skills for the learners to acquire has been that of conversation closing. To explore the causes of the unnaturalness, we asked a number of Japanese university students to view video recordings of closing portions from six conversational exchanges between a Japanese teacher and learners. They were asked to evaluate the interactions with a particular focus on learners' non-verbal behaviors. From their responses, eight typical non-verbal behaviors, including bowing, eye-contact, and back-channeling, were found to be causing the viewed unnaturalness.
