| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study developed an online electronic learning material in order for Japanese learners of English to improve the ability to use a dictionary. The study adopted dynamic assessment as a theoretical and methodological framework, which was based on Vygotsky's theory of zone of proximal development.
After developing the learning material, named C-DADA, the study was conducted to examine whether learners improved their ability to use a dictionary by completing the task given on C-DADA. The results of the study indicated that they enhanced their dictionary skills through working on C-DADA. The study also identified the difference between their actual and potential abilities to use a dictionary, which they showed when receiving supports from C-DADA.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、ダイナミック・アセスメントを理論的・方法論的枠組みとした電子教材を開発し、その効果を検証した。外国語教育学において、コンピュータによるダイナミック・アセスメントの研究はまだ萌芽期であり、本研究の果たす学術的意義は非常に高い。また、本教材が英語の授業に導入されることにより、これまで不十分とされてきた辞書指導を補完することが可能となる。そのため本研究は社会的にも意義が高いと言える。
