| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In a class and a workshop of media production and acting, the participants worked individually and collaboratively by PBL(Project-Based Learning) toward actual production. The activities were conducted approximately 70% in English. The participants presented with their products in English. The end-of-course evaluation indicated that through working collaboratiely inside and outside class promoted active and independed learning as well as reflection-in-action.
Also, another project of collaborative U.S. seminar camp was conducted for about 10 days and was evaluated after the students returned to Japan. The after-the-camp reflection and evaluation indicates active learning was naturally and unconsciously generated as they began to participate in collaborative activities such as giving presentations and working as Jap teaching assistants. This suggests the above activities as "mediating artifacts" in acquiring and learning English worked effectively enough in authentic situations.
