This poster will introduce animated video materials to enhance English learners’ knowledge of conversational formulaic sequences and their motivation toward study abroad experience. Following the previous work in 2015, I have developed five new short animated videos that describe a Japanese college student’s study abroad experience in Canada. In the series of animated videos, learners are supposed to encounter various conversational formulaic sequences, or frequent multi-word units in conversation, with particular language functions such as giving advice, requesting, agreeing, and disagreeing. The topics of the videos include public speaking about one’s hometown, part-time job interviews, complaint handling, and so on. In this poster presentation, I will introduce features of the developed animated videos and types of formulaic sequences that learners are expected to learn, and I will also discuss how Japanese college English learners perceive their usefulness for their own language learning. The videos are freely available on YouTube for those who wish to use them in their own educational environment.
