研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This research study posits that the principal reason is that Japanese high school and university curricula focus largely on language skills and do not coherently build basic knowledge and vocabulary in the traditional fields of the liberal arts upon which the TOEFL is based. As action research testing this original hypothesis for the first time, this study will design and implement a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) curriculum in one of Japan’s newest faculties of liberal arts and measure the outcomes using the TOEFL exam.

研究実績の概要 |
In accordance with our original Kakenhi plan, in 2022-23 the 6 liberal arts modules (Sociology, Economics, Earth Science, Health and Medicine, Zoology, and Natural History) which were piloted in 2021-22 were further developed and used across the entire program of 15 classes and approximately 230 students for 4 koma week (only 2 koma, 3 classes, and 50 students in the 2021-22 pilot). The results were highly encouraging. By using the liberal arts modules instead of commercial communicative textbooks to develop students’ academic reading and listening skills, the TOEFL ITP gain in 2022-23 was 140% greater than for students over the previous six years in the pre-existing traditional program. This strongly corroborated-and exceeded-the results of the 2021-22 pilot study in which the three of 15 classes using a CLIL approach for 2 koma a week showed a 70% higher TOEFL gain. Moreover, it is interesting to note that as the koma in which the modules doubled from 2 to 4, the score gain also doubled from 70% to 140% over the norm. The researcher-practitioners now hope to share their curricular materials on a common platform to partner with other universities. They have also been reporting their approach, methods, and results in a series of presentations at major language-teaching conferences across Japan (see below).

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
The Kakenhi-supported research is proceeding very much according to its original plan. Although Covid slowed the first year of the grant-based research, the research and the implementation of the new liberal arts CIL-based curriculum are currently following the original schedule.
