Outline of Final Research Achievements

A new reading material has been developed on the World Wide Web, and changed dramatically in class. 194 students finished this reading material. They took the TOEIC-IP by Educational Testing Service twice as the pretest in April, 2016 and the posttest in April, 2017. Each student’s result shows their average, which is 73.5 points higher than the pretest. On the other hand, there is another group without learning through this reading material. They took the same standardized test twice in April, 2015 and 2016. Their average score is 65.3 points higher than the pretest.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

授業で英語の多読は、よく取り込まれている。しかし、多読を通して学生は、「どれだけ新しい語彙が身についたのか」、「どれだけ新しい語法が『正確に』身についたのか」、また、「どれだけ内容を『正確に』把握できたのか」、このような疑問をファシリテーターは抱えたまま、学生に英語の多読を任せていた。これらの問題を解決するために、この教材では、インターネット上で、まず多読教材による内容把握問題があり、その後、学生が正確に語彙や語法を身につけるため、多読と同じ教材を利用して段階的に精読ができるように開発されている。
