| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During the course of and related to this research I have attended 2 international and 5 national conferences, given or helped give 6 conference presentations and given 5 open lectures at public libraries. Research-related activity has appeared in 2 newspaper articles (the Japan Times and Kyoto Shinbun), I have received one Kyoto Board of Education prize and have worked with said board and talked to politicians from Tokyo and a range of public library librarians to implement extensive reading including a bridge to native speaker books.
While the work is still very much in progress, results have included the clear separation in MReader (the current name of MoodleReader) charts of graded readers and native speaker literature, the addition of a wide range of native speaker books quizzes at most levels in MReader, the purchase of more than 2,000 English books by public libraries, and ongoing testing of material in a range of courses. The final paper for this research is still being written.
