Abstract
At certain times, international students (IS) who reside and study in Japan evaluate Japanese students' (JS) conversational behaviors negatively. Through detailed analysis of conversations, this study explicates how such negative evaluations are constructed through the talk. The data comprises talk between IS and JS, along with the ISs' comments obtained through follow-up interviews. This paper discusses the wavs in which ISs' and JSs' conversational behaviors work to co-construct such negative evaluations.
