| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research examined the effects of background noise on Japanese EFL learners’ listening comprehension. The present study focused on the degree of noise and sentence predictability using quantitative and qualitative methods. A longitudinal study was also conducted. The findings suggested that the effects of contextual information on the participants’ listening comprehension varied depending on the noise level. In the extreme noise condition, the scores on the listening test were the lowest under this condition and also, the use of context information was not observed. The participants used the context information successfully and most frequently when the noise level was moderate. It was also found that the tolerance level for noise varied among the participants. The longitudinal study suggested that the effects of listening instructions using materials with noise on students’ listening skills did not differ from those using materials without noise.

我々の日常生活は、ノイズに溢れているが、英語のリスニング学習場面でのノイズの影響はほとんど検証されていなかった。本研究では、量的、質的手法を用いた実験により、ノイズが英語学習者リスニング理解に与える影響を分析した。また、実際に英語授業でノイズつき音声を用いたリスニング指導を長期的に行うことで、実践面も検証した。本研究はノイズつき音声という、より現実に近い音声を用いた実践的なリスニング理解について、示唆を与えた。
