Outline of Final Research Achievements	Regarding the evaluation of elementary school foreign language activities and foreign language studies, we examined the teaching and evaluation of the three aspects of the Courses of Study, especially "thinking, judgment, and expression" and "independent attitude toward learning," and analyzed the common teaching materials of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the foreign language textbooks used in elementary and junior high schools. Based on the results, we created performance tasks and task examples for each grade level, as well as a draft rubric with a four-step Can-Do index. In doing so, we devised tasks in each of the five domains or integrated tasks, conducted actual classroom practice and performance evaluation at elementary schools, compared the students' self-evaluations with the teachers' evaluations, and discussed how we were able to deepen the students' ability to think, judge, and express, and cultivate their ability to learn.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	小学校外国語活動／教科外国語の評価方法，授業改善，指導と評価のあり方，小中連携は十分に開発・検証がなされていないが，本研究で評価用タスク，パフォーマンス課題の開発と導入，ルーブリックとCan-Doを合わせた評価尺度の設計と実証を行い，広く研究成果を公表・普及できた意義は大きい。また，「思考・判断・表現」や「学びに向かう力」についても授業内タスクや課題を設定し開発することで，有能感や自律性の向上につながり，それが学びへの力となったことは，学習者主体の学びへの転換ととらえることができる。さらに，教師内省シートを実践で用いることで，教員の指導力向上を促し，自信と自律に貢献できたことも成果である。
