Research Abstract |
This research investigated into those aspects of overseas English education systems that could be relevant to the Japanese English language education program. To foster higher-level English language development, students should be provided with challenging student-oriented lessons that require cognitively demanding communication skills based on Cummins' concept of CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency). This would, in turn, help them to improve their critical and analytical abilities. Also, academic content should be carefully calibrated and integrated with language instruction in English language education. Some of these views are consistent with content-based instruction and immersion programs.
