| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Inquiry-Based Learning approach (IBL) to improve the paraphrasing skills of engineering students by employing eye-tracking technology as a tool. Eye-tracking technology allows investigators to provide empirical evidence of the writing process by recording both eye movements during the writing process. We used different types of reading during the TOEFL iBT. Integrated Writing Task in which test-takers were required to summarize the main points from multiple sources. The study used the eye-tracking method to help elicit differences between skilled and unskilled readers during summary writing (n=22). The eye-tracking data were used to test the difference in their cognitive processes and decision-making process, while questionnaires and stimulated interviews were coded for triangulating qualitative data. The study explored the efficacy of the eye-tracking technology as an additional tool for the IBL approach (Choy＆Lee, 2012), which creates self-awareness to improving summary writing.

アイトラッキングは、言語スキルの認知プロセスを理解するための調査手段として、近年第二言語習得研究において採用されるケースが増えてきている。この技術を用いることで、学習者の視線が文章中をどのように辿っていたかを詳細に記録することができる。そのため、得られた視線運動のデータを処理することで、リーディングからライティングまでの認知プロセスの各段階を定量的に分析し，それらの特徴を明らかにすることができる可能性がある。我々は、英語運用能力の高い学習者と低い学習者を区別する、サマリーライティングに関わる認知プロセスの特徴を、アイトラッキングデータから特定できると見込む。
