Outline of Final Research Achievements

During the research period since 2017, I have achieved the following research outcomes: (1) The book, titled "Begin with One Simple Sentence: The Argument Construction Guide". This is the main achievement of the research. It introduces how a practical argument can be constructed from the formulation of one simple sentence (which will eventually serve as the argument's conclusion). It also contrasts the construction approach to argument studies from the assessment approach, which was a key motivation for the research project. (2) The book, titled "How to Develop Research Originality". This is the book that demonstrates, through step-by-step recipe, how research originality can be developed through the development of one simple sentence. (3) Six journal papers that presented research outcomes in different stages. (4) Nine oral presentations and talks that presented research outcomes in different stages.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今日、AIツールがアカデミックライティングを支援する場面が増えていることから、主に言語使用に焦点を当てた教科書は時代遅れになりつつあります。その結果、アカデミックライティング教育においてパラダイムシフトの必要性が高まっています。このシフトとは、従来の言語中心のスキルに重点を置く方法から、学術論文における明確さと説得力を高める実践的な思考スキルにより深く焦点を当てる方向へと移行することを伴います。
提案する本書は、アカデミックライティングのための実践的な思考スキルを主に強調しているため、今年出版することでこのパラダイムシフトの最前線に位置付けられます。
