Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this project, the researchers attempted to establish an effective EAP program which would help students transit from high school English to academic English. First, they conducted surveys constructed in the framework of revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001) at 11 universities. The survey data revealed that experiences of high school graduates were dominantly at low levels of cognitive demand. The results were reflected to the design of the EAP programs, which were planned and implemented with the students majoring in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), medicines, and international studies. According to the analyses of students’ written products and the post-surveys, the programs seemed to be effective in providing students with scaffoldings of different cognitive demands, and thus preparing students to read and write critically and logically in academic contexts.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	EAPプログラム参加者の高校における言語活動の実態を明らかにするために、2018年度、2019年度にわたり11大学において学習者調査を行った。ブルームの改訂版タキソノミー(Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001) における認知レベルを用いて分類した結果、学習者は高校時にレベル２（理解）から５（評価）までの言語経験が少ないことが明らかとなった。この傾向を受けて数理科学系、医療系、国際系の大学や学部にて、不足する領域を取り入れた足場掛けを設計し実践、プログラム評価を行った。論理的思考力の養成が重要視されている現在、アカデミックリテラシーを培う一実践例として寄与するものである。
