Description

Since its release in 2020, the International Corpus of Japanese as a Second Language (I-JAS) has been widely used in research fields of Japanese language teaching and second language acquisition.  However, quantitative contrastive interlanguage analysis (CIA), which is commonly practiced in  learner corpus studies overseas, does not seem to be fully used in I-JAS research. Part of the reason  for this may be due to the complexity of the learners' proficiency data offered in the I-JAS and the  unwieldiness of the I-JAS downloadable text data. The author, therefore, has re-classified 1,000  learners based on a new integrative proficiency index and created a data sheet called "I-JAS for CIA,"  which consolidates all text data into a single Excel sheet to enable proficiency-controlled CIA. This paper reports on the process of constructing "I-JAS for CIA," its usage, and potential research  applications.
