| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In 2020, teaching English for 3rd and 4th graders at Japanese public elementary schools began as a compulsory “activity”, and the Ministry of Education edited two textbooks called “Let’s Try! 1, 2”. We made an analysis of vocabularies and sentence patters of those two “activity textbooks”.
Based on the vocabulary and sentence pattern research, we developed two workbooks for the blind students: “Let’s Try English! 1, 2”, one for the 3rd graders and the other for the 4th. Those are self-study workbooks using a touch-pen. The pen contains all the listening materials in the textbooks of “Let’s Try! 1, 2” digitally. We believe those workbooks could help both the blind elementary students to learn English and the teachers to teach English. We also edited a teacher’s manual: “Pronunciation of English” which is a pronunciation guide to “Let’s Try! 1”

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
特別支援教育では、共生社会の形成に向けインクルーシブ教育システムの構築が推進され「日本型インクルーシブ教育」が提言されている。特に視覚障害児童には音声教材の整備充実が求められている。
本研究の学術的意義は、二次元コードと触図を活用し新学習指導要領に対応した音声ペン教材の作成が視覚障害児一人一人に応じた充実した学習を可能としたことである。また、社会的意義は、日本型インクルーシブ教育に向けた視覚障害児童への音声教材の充実を図るため、本研究で作成した補助教材の活用により視覚障害児童が晴眼者と同等の教育情報が保障されることである。
