Listener responses (called backchannels) and their effect on interculturalcommunication were investigated in eight dyadic conversations in Englishbetween Japanese and British participants. The findings of this study revealedseveral differences in the way each culture used backchannels: theJapanese participants used slightly more backchannels per interlocutorword, the British participants displayed greater variability in the types ofbackchannels they used, and there were several differences in the lexicalitems making up these backchannels. Japanese participants sent noticeablymore backchannels in three discourse contexts: at or directly after a pause,directly after a primary speaker's nonverbal gesture, and directly after atag question or an utterance ending with the lexical items 'ya know'. Thisstudy found evidence supporting the hypothesis that backchannel conventions,which are not shared between cultures, contribute to negative perceptionsand stereotyping. The findings of this study support the conclusionthat backchannels warrant more attention in EFL classes in Japan.
