This studies aim is to examine the language management towards contact situations of Korean residents in Japan from a diachronic point of view. In this paper, I will first classify the interview data of a Korean woman who lives in Japan into 3 levels (the level of fact, level of subject, level of text; Muraoka 2010), and then describe her language biography. Then, from her language biography, I will show how I interpret the experiences that left marks on her life, and how her policy of Japanese language use has been changed. Moreover, beside of her turning point, I will clarify her general policy of communication and language use. Finally, by recapitulating the points represented before, I epitomize her language management towards contact situations in Japan.
