Research-Oriented Short Presentation
This presentation describes first-year university students’ (n = 89) experiences in a new language table community in Japan. Students were assigned to attend an English language table session for at least 30 minutes per quarter. Their 300-word post-visit reports were analyzed and coded for common themes. The results show that the assignment worked as an introduction to language tables, the community, using English in non-classroom settings, and built positive affective feelings.
