Outline of Final Research Achievements

Since 2016 Dr. Damon Chandler and I have been researching The Growth Mindset as an important motivating factor in learning and retaining English language skills, specifically for the required 3rd year required class Academic English. These include speaking, listening, responding to questions, and writing scripts for presentations. The large number of students required group work; hence we focussed on TEAMS and LEADERS. At the beginning and end of each course we evaluated the students English. After 3 years we to propose our tentative conclusion. "Teams with leaders learn English better than classes organized into groups."

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

Our collaboration of EEE Science and Behavioral Science was guided by the goal of constant improvement. We suggest that adult science students could be offered the complex challenges of interpersonal communication, people skills, and social interaction in the general scientific world of their major.
