The Use of Can-do Statements for Directive Settings in Creating a Multicultural Workplace Environment with Foreign Residents:

An Attempt of Interactive Evaluation Activities Based on the Cds

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop Can-do statements (Cds) for the workplace that enable people in workplaces to reflect dialogically their ways of communicating with foreign staff. With the Cds, we aim to contribute to create a workplace environment where foreign staff can work comfortably. We report on interactive evaluation activities conducted in actual workplaces using Cds for directive settings.
