Research Abstract |
The current research examined the narrow reading approach applied for Japanese learners of English using a neuron-imaging technique called near infrared spectroscopy. Two learner groups. the experimental and the control participated a series of experiments. The results revealed that the brain activation patterns of the members of the experimental group monitored at the end of the experimental period became relatively similar to that of the advanced level learners, whereas the control group did not show substantial change. Such consequence could be interpreted as a potential proof of the effectiveness of narrow reading method, neuro-scientifically, as well as cognitively.
