“…In other words, the Ins are related to practical and ethical obstacles to gain access to authentic data and the Outs relate to what practitioners could gain through collaborations. Recently, the term transdisciplinarity has drawn attention and has advanced the existing concepts of collaboration into the goal of transcending the boundaries within academia and across academia and industries, through cocreating research questions, collecting and interpreting data together, and copublishing outcomes (e.g., Perrin, 2018; Whitehouse, 2018).…”

Due to the economic sluggishness seen in Japan over the past few decades and the shrinking inward investment market, the Japanese government has introduced educational reforms in order to foster “global human resources” able to compete with overseas talent. One key area of emphasis has been communication education with a special focus on English. In this article, after reviewing the government’s reform plans, the author will analyze (1) how Japanese universities have incorporated these policies into their organizations, with an emphasis on the country’s internationally top-rated universities, and (2) how individual instructors have modified them for their own classes, with reference to a specific case of a successful partnership with an overseas university. Based on the analyses, future opportunities for communication studies will be highlighted in “Discussion” section, including stronger and more flexible ties with overseas universities, in particular among the Asia-Pacific Region, and how a country of non-native speakers of English could show initiative in developing collaborations with overseas universities.

Abstract“Trust is the glue of life,” wrote the American author Stephen R. Covey about what he considered to be the most essential ingredient in effective communication. “It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships—marriages, families, and organizations of every kind—together” (Covey et al., 1994, p. 203). This insight captures the essence of what this book is all about—an exploration into the critical role of trust. In our daily lives, trust is not only necessary when someone opens the door early in the morning and leaves the house to start the day; it forms the basis of our most routine actions and interactions. Without this fundamental trust, even the simplest tasks become daunting, underscoring the pervasive influence of trust in shaping our experiences. Trust dependence becomes even more pronounced in situations where individuals commit long-term resources, manifesting in forms such as marriage, pursuing higher education, purchasing a home, starting a business, or investing in one. Probably the most difficult investment decisions are those where past results cannot be used to make future predictions, either because circumstances have changed or because there are no available results upon which to project the future. The latter is especially true for startups; these companies lack reliable facts and figures as they are, by definition, still young. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and increasingly perfect deepfakes, contributions to a better understanding of the mechanism of trust formation are poised to grow in importance. This book provides a language-related contribution to these efforts in a context where factual evidence on which to base trust is scarce.

Narrative analysis applied to text production

The following paper adopts the vantage point of a linguistic ethnographic approach to news production, focused on the process of quoting, and combined with narrative analysis. The starting point of the analysis is an account given by a person who lived through a dramatic event. The paper investigates how the processes of recontextualization affects the account during the making of a broadcast news story. It explains how and why news practitioners adjust stretches of talk to the news text they are producing, and it reveals to what extent a pre-existing version of what happened (that of the account) can be reshaped by one in the making (that of the news story in which the account is going to figure). In the case study, the processes of recontextualization relates to three narrative issues: (1) quoting involves adapting the account’s characters’ categorizations to those of the news story; (2) quoting entails choosing between different schemes of incidence that depict what happened slightly differently; (3) quoting asks for a delimitation of the account’s spatiotemporal parameters that corresponds with those of the news story. Such a narrative adjustment is neither a tightly planned nor an arbitrary process but is embedded in the professional practice as it unfolds in the social and material world.
