| Outline of Research at the Start |
In this study, we will recruit a total of 50 participants ranging from A2 to C1 levels of English proficiency who will participate in the experiment twice for a total of four tasks. Data collection is two fold (Phase I and Phase II). Each experiment should take approximately 60 minutes, including 10 minutes break in between the two tasks. Participants will wear a noise cancellation headset for listening and they are allowed to take notes while listening. They are asked to summarize the lectures (with or without image) in forms of both writing and speaking.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In February 2024, the team of the Kaken Project had a joint research seminar in Nagasaki, where over 23 participants, including the principal investigator and the co-investigator, presented the latest work. The title of the joint seminar was "Exploring interdisciplinary research:Bridging language education and information science." Most of the presentations featured studies that employed eye tracking technology as an instrument. The project was joined by a graduate student who sought to present the topic as her master’s thesis by 2024, thus we intentionally extended this project to publish two papers in academic journals.
The highlight of the joint seminar was the presentation of our project, which explored L2 learners’ gaze behaviors and keystroke logs during listen-to-summarize (LTS) tasks. The graduate student presented the latest findings, and we had this occasion to discover how we go about disseminating the findings in the form of publications.
The team plans to publish two papers: one focusing on quantitative data and test-taking strategies, and the other on qualitative analysis. Notably, successful participants exhibited distinct patterns of selective attention and metacognitive processing, with fixation on notes emerging as a predictor of comprehension. These findings highlight the crucial role of notetaking in such tasks and suggest avenues for future research.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
We mostly delayed the project on purpose so that it would coincide with the timing of a graduate student completing her graduation thesis. As we decided to include a graduate student to join our study, in part because she intended to persuade her doctoral thesis on this theme, we thought that we would want to take this opportunity to publish our joint papers in academic journals. Putting this work into a comprehensible manuscript requires careful review by all co-investigators and a research collaborator. We hope to complete this process before we complete the project this year.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Our future plan is to compile and publish two manuscripts for academic journals. These manuscripts may require editing, as they may require revisions before publication. To ensure that the necessary changes are made among the investigators and collaborators involved in this study, we will schedule a monthly meeting to review the papers. Additionally, we plan to ask a graduate student to co-present at an international conference this fall to showcase the impact of our findings on our research community.
