This revealed that the Japanese researchers struggled to understand the Chinese English. Furthermore, they often did not articulate this lack of comprehension due to differences in position and experience. Therefore, the Japanese researchers, who were also English students, wanted to build their listening skills. So they developed action research cycles to audio record and transcribe parts of their video conferences, highlighting which phonological features were problematic. This pilot study helps our understanding of phonological pronunciation and perception within contextually constrained Business English as a lingua franca environments.}, pages = {66--106}, title = {Active Learning: Writing and Speaking about Listening in a Business English Context}, volume = {22}, year = {2017} }
