Outline of Final Research Achievements	I have developed computer-aided teaching materials, “English Writing Materials for Paragraph-Level Writing Using the Phased Sentence-Adding Method in the Text," which can improve English ability of engineering students. These materials, which also have been modified into English teaching materials used by CALL, LAN and so on, are aimed for paragraph-level writing, beginning with one sentence (sentence-level writing) and adding sentences one by one in the three-grade system.
