| Outline of Research at the Start |
This study focuses on the Process Drama approach’s effectiveness in aiding language retention. Post-lesson test scores of students taught collocations using the model or a traditional direct study method will be compared to determine any difference of collocation acquisition between the methods.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The focus this year was to build upon the first phase of the research and to create lesson plans based on the model created. One challenge has been to create a process drama and traditional lesson plan of the same length of time in order to create a fair comparison. The finalized plan for the experiment has gone through ethics review and been approved. A pilot study has been implemented and the results of the pilot study have been analyzed with particular focus on the pre-experiment and post experiment tests which were analyzed by applying the Rasch model. Some slight modifications of the words and content are currently being finalized. Additionally, recruitment is to begin shortly. The experiment may need to be in two phases based on participant numbers and availability.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
The aim was to complete the experiments early on in the semester, however, due to challenges in recruiting students for the pilot study and some challenges in modification in order to create a more accurate comparison, recruitment for the experiment itself has been pushed back by a few months. In addition, it may be challenging to get all participants to be able to participate at once, and so there may need to be several sessions. Ideally, each session will be approximately 20 participants in order to simulate normal language classroom numbers.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
We are recruiting participants through distribution of information (flyers and emails to teachers) and organizing schedules. We are booking appropriate spaces in order to implement the experiment in alignment with participant schedules. We are printing out materials, making sure all the equipment is ready.
