Abstract: The present article studied asymmetrical conversation between two adults who had a gap in linguistic ability, i.e., a native speaker and a foreigner. Japanese and foreign undergraduates had conversations either in Japanese or in English: In the Japanese conversation, Japanese subjects had advantage while in the English conversation, foreign subjects had advantage. The inter- as well as intra-subject change of conversation stratgies between two languages was assessed. The results showed in the Japanese conversation, Japanese subjects made more questions and let the partner make more yes-no answers, while in the Englesh conversation, the foreign subjects took longer turns, paraphrasing what the partner said. Among ten strategies, Explanation was the only strategy that was used by advantaged subjects in both Japanese and English conversations.
