Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は企業が日本の大学生に対して卒業時にどのような英語スピーキング能力を身に着けていることを期待しているのかを通じて学生の英語力についてのemployabilityを調査した。研究手法としてこれまでemployabilityが研究されてきたビジネス・ジャーナルで採られてきた方法ではなく第二言語習得の音声・心理言語学の研究でcomprehensibilityが測定されてきた方法を踏襲し外国語教育の分野で使われているスピーキング能力の測定指標とemployabilityを比較することでビジネス英語のニーズと外国語教育の研究で得られた知見を融合し新たな視点から大学の英語教育に貢献したものと考える。
