| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
During this year, we were able to complete most of the analysis of the qualitative data. The qualitative data was transcribed and edited carefully. Excerpts from the transcriptions were selected based on relevancy to the topic and categorized under broad themes with sub-categories created within each theme. Two main themes were identified and were compared with the quantitative data. This data was presented at the annual national Japan Association of Language Teacher (JALT) PanSig conference in July 2022. A paper reporting these results was published in the Journal of Policy Studies No. 66 in March of 2023.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the sudden shift to Emergency Remote Teaching, data was not collected until the fall of 2020. This has slightly delayed the overall plan including the analysis and results. Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to share the results at international conferences face-to-face until recently.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Next year, we will complete the analysis of the data, with a specific focus on the connections with the quantitative data. Furthermore, we plan to develop implications of our results for writing teachers. We plan to present our findings and implications at international conferences during this year and potentially early next year.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to travel to international conferences and workshops to present and meet with other researchers. Also, equipment purchases were not as much as we anticipated. If we are able to, we plan to use the leftover amount for conference and travel expenses as well as software and/or computer equipment to expand the investigation to potentially include an analysis of lexical complexity.
