Matsuyama JALT:

How can we complain? Appropriate and effective strategies in English and Japanese

Date: Sunday, November 13th, 2005 Time: 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Carol Rinnert, Hiroshima City University

Description:
What if your professor made a mistake, giving you a lower grade than what you deserved? Or, what if your roommate has been making too much noise that disturbs your sleep late at night? Even though saying something can risk offense, sometimes expressing a complaint is necessary to solve such problems. The presenter will share results of on-line questionnaires that investigated what complaint strategies are seen as most appropriate and effective in English and Japanese in those two situations, and what strategies are seen as potentially rude or ineffective in the same situations.
