The authors have conducted the Students Meet Internationally through the Language Education (SMILE) project since 2020. In the SMILE project, this study aimed to investigate how group meetings were conducted and how participants contributed to the conversations. Interesting features were identified by analyzing 39 transcriptions from the recorded videos of students’ online group sessions. This study reports the visualization methods and some results, including the relationships between the number of participants in one group and the Coefficient of Variation, which suggests a tendency for non-speaking participants to appear in larger groups. This implies that there is an appropriate number of participants for online intercultural meetings.

摘要

The authors have conducted the Students Meet Internationally through the Language Education (SMILE) project since 2020. In the SMILE project, this study aimed to investigate how group meetings were conducted and how participants contributed to the conversations. Interesting features were identified by analyzing 39 transcriptions from the recorded videos of students’ online group sessions. This study reports the visualization methods and some results, including the relationships between the number of participants in one group and the Coefficient of Variation, which suggests a tendency for non-speaking participants to appear in larger groups. This implies that there is an appropriate number of participants for online intercultural meetings.
