| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project seeks to: (1) provide insights into the current state of primary school English education in the country based on a sampling from Kyoto; (2) provide relevant data to guide Japanese universities and the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) on future policy decisions regarding English education; and (3) contribute to improving the English teaching skills of primary school teachers in Japan.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project began with investigating the training content in the English teacher license renewal program. Interviews with teachers were conducted, and data was collected from existing research. After analyzing this data, a survey was created by integrating the survey results. The survey was distributed online to recruit participants, requesting participation from teachers in all elementary schools in Kyoto Prefecture. After 75 surveys were completed, data analysis was conducted. The research findings were presented at a conference, sparking discussions on improving English teachers in Japan. The study concluded with a paper proposing recommendations for improving teacher training.
