Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is often pointed out that fluency and accuracy hardly develop at a time in the foreign langue classrooms with communicative language teaching. In this research, we applied DDL (data-driven learning) in English classes to enhance both students’ language knowledge and skills. With DDL approach students explore numerous examples of English, notice patterns and discover language rules and learn English inductively. The major outcomes from our research are as follows. First, we originally developed copy-right free and level-appropriate pedagogical corpora covering introductory-level and beginning-level leaners. Second, we developed and released original DDL tools for elementary and secondary school students. They are easy and intuitive to use. Neither cost nor registration is required. Third, we collected data and verified the effects of our unique application of DDL to pre-tertiary classrooms. These results will help further development and application of DDL in English classrooms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は次の点で意義深い。まず,入門・初級英語学習者のレベルに合致した著作権フリーの「教育用コーパス」を開発した。当該レベルのコーパスは世界的に見ても希少であり,独自開発のため著作権フリーで利用できる。次に,上記のコーパスを活用し,小学生用と中高生用のDDL支援サイトを開発・公開した。両サイトは無料で,登録の必要がなく,誰でも自由に利用できる。また,サイト中のDDL教材や言語データは,教師や学習者が著作権フリーで自由に加工して使える。さらに,世界的に見て,入門・初級学習者へのDDL活用が進んでいないなか,中高生のためのDDLを独自に発展させ,効果を検証し,DDL研究の基礎データを収集した。
