Outline of Final Research Achievements

The goal of the present research project is to develop an instructional method to foster the collaborative public talk, which is defined as talking with an explicit manner both in language use and gestures, of teacher candidates who learn in a university in Japan. In order to achieve this goal, an international student exchange program was chosen, in which participants deliver a presentation in English language to introduce Japanese culture to students audience in visited schools abroad. Repeatedly implemented case studies, using participatory observation method, revealed that establishing a reflective cycle is the most important process to render the presentation collaborative manner. In the cycle, the presenters should perceive their own performance properly, identify tasks to improve, and reflect their findings on their later performance.
