| Outline of Research at the Start |
This project aims to confirm the validity of and also create free resources to help Japanese learners improve their academic English. It also aims to shed light on new methods of identifying, studying, and teaching useful academic English phrases by creating a variety of free software.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During this year, the auto-suggest plug-in was further fine-tuned to give it better functionality. The translation of the resource was also completed and proofread by a research team member. In addition, the Apple and Google Play Store smartphone apps were created to enable easy distribution of the resource and to conduct the experiment with. This will enable participants to take a test and submit the results from a distance, and thus this should enable more people to participate.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Now that the translation is complete, the smartphone apps were finally created and thus the experiment can now occur.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Currently, the research team is trying to find as many participants as possible for the experiment. Team members also helped in creating Japanese versions of the instructions for the experiment to ensure that it could be understood easily and go smoothly.
