Outline of Final Research Achievements

The 57 technical colleges in Japan were established primarily to train the next generation of science and engineering researchers, but their specialized curricula are putting increasing pressure on the actual class time of general subjects such as English, a trend that became even more pronounced with the last curriculum revision. The primary objective of this study is to construct a system for sharing teaching materials among English teachers at technical colleges throughout Japan in order to improve the effectiveness of English education at technical colleges under these circumstances. The materials were based on textbooks edited for college of technology students.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

新カリキュラムの導入に伴い、英語等の一般科目の実授業時間数は専門科目に圧迫されながらも、一方で卒業生には従来通りの英語運用能力が求められている。この現状に対応するべく、これまで各高専においてそれぞれ独自の指導がなされてきた英語教育の分野に「教材アーカイブの共有」という新たなテーマを示した点に本研究の学術的意義がある。
