This brief paper addresses ESL learners from a related yet different perspective of power by shedding light on inter-ethnic relations among international students enrolled in intensive ESL programs, in particular focusing on Japanese and Korean students. The main underpinning of this study is the SLA knowledge that collaborative in teraction among students as well as between teachers and students is essential to successful SLA(Allwright & Bailey, 1991; Donato, 1994; Ehrman & Dornyei, 1998; Jacobs & Hall, 2002; Liang, Mohan, & Early, 1998)and the contradictory reality that "Attention to the nature and impact of student-student interaction on classroom learning has been virtually ignored in much of the classroom-based educational research" (Johnson, 1995,111).}, pages = {133--144}, title = {Conceptualizing international students' orientation to intercultural communication}, year = {2008} }
