Summarization requires critical thinking and expressive ability, as it involves understanding the intent of a text and rephrasing it in one’s own words. This study examines the characteristics of summaries written by Japanese native speakers and Japanese language learners who are Chinese, Korean, and Turkmen.
By analyzing these summaries through the concept of Idea Units (IUs), this study compares features of summaries written in Japanese and those written in the Japanese learners' native languages. The findings reveal that Japanese summaries exhibit consistent patterns of IU occurrence, while summaries in native languages tend to feature more identical or similar expression IUs.
