| Outline of Research at the Start |
Our research use of cloud-computing to deliver near-immediate feedback to language learners about their linguistic errors in presentation and other settings. It will include (a) peer and self- evaluations, and (b-c) student reflections and perceptions of the procedures used for this research.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study documented the effects of near-immediate feedback on EFL students’ language development and oral presentation performance. It evaluated the use of peer and self-evaluation in EFL instruction and assessed student perceptions of regular cloud computing use. Data were collected over multiple years and analyzed through diagnostic, process, and outcome assessments. Research outcomes included 31 papers (16 peer-reviewed, 4 internationally co-authored, and 22 open access) and 129 presentations and workshops, including 14 invited talks and 62 at international conferences. The procedures and materials developed were made freely available, significantly expanding the reach, replicability, and generalizability of the study. The findings advanced applied linguistics and instructional practice by promoting timely, learner-centered feedback in foreign language education.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
この研究は、タイムリーなクラウドベースのフィードバックがEFL学習者の言語発達と口頭表現力をどのように向上させるかについての科学的理解を深めました。ピア評価と自己評価を検証し、クラウドツールが外国語学習環境におけるイマーシブ学習の側面を再現できることを示しました。科学的には、タイムリーなフィードバックと学習者のエンゲージメントの価値を強調しました。社会的には、多様な教育環境において、公平なフィードバック、学習者の自律性、そしてより良い指導方法を促進する、拡張性の高いオープンアクセスツールを提供することで、指導上の課題に取り組みました。
