| Research Abstract |
This three-year research, based on a grand scheme articulated in the research application form, has been accomplished through the following three stages: (1) creating a theoretical framework by collecting related printed materials as well as conducting interview-focused field research (i.e., in the first year), (2) administering extensive questionnaire surveys targeting first-year college EFL learners (in both Kyushu-Okinawa and Kanto-Koshinetsu regions; gaining 2774 valid responses as a result) , together with a similar survey for EFL instructors in the same regions (i.e., in the second year), (3) analyzing the yielded data through quantitative analyses then presenting discussions, limitations, implications, and conclusion, all of which were compiled in the form of a comprehensive research progress report(i.e., in the final year).
