| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the relationship between a metaphor-based approach to teaching the degrees of certainty and politeness and involvement of the brain’s right hemisphere. The results show that teaching the degrees of certainty and politeness by applying the spatial concept of distance could help in second-language (L2) learning. The metaphor approach allowed participants to link the spatial concept of distance to the degree of certainty and politeness. In addition, recordings of lip movements showed that participants remembered the target items better by opening the left side of their mouths more than the right side. This indicates that the brain’s right hemisphere is involved in deep processing of expressions that reflect different levels of certainty and politeness and creating stronger memory traces.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
口の開き方の対称性をみて左脳右脳の優位性を試みた結果、右利きの被験者の口の左側が右側より広く開き、右脳関与の兆候が見られた。口の開き方の対称性をみて左脳右脳の優位性に基づく空間概念利用の外国語指導を学校英語教育を通じて展開させていくことを目指す。
