| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using an eye tracking system, we have researched how students approach different reading task types of those typically found in textbooks, as well as the type of reading students perform when they are researching topics for the purpose of writing reports. The eye tracking system provides insight into where participants focus their attention and possible words and areas that participants process. In general we found that students with higher ability in English used more and more appropriate strategies in their reading.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
私たちは、日本の大学生が英語を読む際に、効果的な戦略的スキルを使うためのトレーニングが不十分であり、トレーニングの改善が可能な分野を発見し続けました。私たちは、この発見を発表し、私たちの指導法に役立てるとともに、国際会議で発表してきました。このことが、他の先生方の指導の改善に役立つことを期待しています。効率性と流暢性は、言語使用の楽しさと実用性に影響を与える要因であり、これらの知見を教授法に取り入れることで、教育に費やす時間や生徒が費やす努力を増やすことなく、言語習熟度と流暢性を高めることができます。
