The aim of this study is to clarify the differences in listener behaviors in three friends' conversations on the same topic in Japanese, English, and Chinese, in order to develop teaching materials for conversational data analysis. The frequency of listener behaviors (short utterance, head movement and laugh) was calculated for each of the three languages, and it was found that in Japanese, listeners used three times the number of listener behaviors as were used in English or Chinese. There were also differences in the frequency and percentage of listener behaviors demonstrated by the two listeners. By presenting these results and examples of conversations, the authors will create teaching materials for conversational data analysis that will facilitate comparative analysis between three languages.
