Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, a content and language integrated unit was created, which was conducted with high school students. In the class, two types of tasks (written or oral) that focused on the learning of the passive form were implemented, and learners' task interactions and the degree of passive form learning were analyzed for each of the two task modalities. Results suggest that learners' attention to the linguistic aspect of the task may be enhanced when the task includes a written component while orally administered tasks may be more effective when the task objective includes the consolidation of previously learned grammatical items.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、検定教科書の題材の学習を深め言語学習と両立させる内容言語統合型の授業ユニットを作成・実践した。その授業実践を学会で発表することで、具体的な授業事例を示すことができた。また、受動態に焦点を当てたタスクを作成し、モダリティ別の学習過程と学習成果の違いを検討することで、学習目標によるモダリティ選択の必要性を示すことができた。具体的には、様々な言語項目に焦点を当てたい時には筆記モダリティを、特定の既習文法事項を練習し定着を図る際には口頭モダリティを選択すると効果的であろうとの示唆が得られた。
