Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is developing an effective course design by using analysis with NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) for Japanese EFL learners at a technical college from the viewpoint of brain science and educational technology to meet ESP (English for Specific Purposes) curriculum goals: to develop global engineers. NIRS is widely recognized as a practical non-invasive optical technique to detect characteristic of hemoglobin density dynamics response during functional activation of the cerebral cortex. In the field of educational technology, Attitude-Treatment Interaction (ATI) is an important element, so that ATI based experiments have conducted to clarify the preferable combinations of learners’ characteristics, teaching materials and methods by comparing the brain activities of learners in different English proficiency levels. The results showed that using analysis of NIRS for EFL learners could be a very useful method to get an idea to develop effective ESP course.
