| Outline of Research at the Start |
日本の大学英語教育では学術英語等の内容学習、すなわち「英語で学ぶこと」が重視されている。英語で学ぶことは、学生の十分な英語技能を必要とし、文法知識が 重要な役割を担っている。一方、英語の文法知識が曖昧な大学生は多く存在する。限られた 授業時間で教師から個別フィードバックが得られないため、不足した知識を自分で特定し補 完することが難しい。このような現状を踏まえ、本研究は三年間にわたって、日本人大学生 向けの「コンピュータ適応型英文法診断テスト」の開発・検証を行う。学生の英文法知識の弱点を見つけた上、テストの結果に基づいて重点のある補修学習方法を提案することを目的とする。

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Around 250 essays written by Japanese university students were collected and subsequently analyzed by English grammar experts. Specifically, the experts selected erroneous sentences from the essays, corrected the mistakes and compiled a comparative corpus consisting the original and corrected sentence pairs. These sentence pairs were then annotated by another group of experts based on existing error annotation frameworks. With these results, questions will be designed in the second year that represent commonly seen mistakes in Japanese students' writing.
The results have been published in LREC-COLING 2024 - The 2024 Joint International Conference on Computational Linguistics, Language Resources and Evaluation

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I have completed the tasks as planned for the first year.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the second year, I will create questions targeting the common mistakes in Japanese students' writing. Then I'll recruit students to take the quiz and perform further analysis to validate the questions. After that, I'll determine the difficulty level of the questions in order to make the test adaptive.
