Outline of Research at the Start

Does MOI influence students’ WTC?-analyze the WTC surveys and students interviews.

If MOI does influence WTC, how does it influence WTC?-class observations/teacher interviews, and student interviews.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

My research partners and I did two questionnaire surveys in 2020 and 2021 on the medium of instruction during the first two years of the pandemic. Carson did the quantitative analysis for both years. We also did teachers' interviews and classroom observations. Willey and I did the interviews and observations. We also checked the transcription (Using ZOOM). In addition, we analyzed the data. We also did presentations and wrote one paper.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

We wrote a paper in the JACET Chugoku/Shikoku Chapter Bulletin. We did eleven presentations to show the results of our study.
