The aim of this study was to propose a program to improve English communication skills as a Global Lingua Franca, focusing on advanced listening skills, in a learning environment in Japan. In particular, this study set the following two research questions: (1) What are the conditions necessary to improve listening skills from B to C1 level in Japan? (2) How can learners discover Best-Fit listening practice strategies to achieve this? The results of the eight-week project indicated that the group using collaborative learning was more effective in helping the participants find and establish their Best-Fit Strategy and were successful in continuing to learn English.

グローバル化しつつある現代社会・世界を背景に、日本人英語学習者は留学こそが唯一の方法であるという強迫観念に陥っている者が多いが、留学さえすれば英語学習における問題が全て解決するわけではない。本研究は外国語環境下にある日本国内においてリスニングを中心とする英語オーラル・コミュニケーション能力を高めるための新たな英語学習プログラムを提案し、その有効性の検証を行うものである。
