研究開始時の研究の概要

In this project, we create a computerised assessment of learners' oral proficiency in English, identifying pragmatic errors and giving immediate feedback tailored to their specific needs. Feedback effectiveness is evaluated.

研究実績の概要

This year, we have made a number of achievements relating to the project. The initial phase of the project involves creating a corpus of learner oral requesting in English with varying interlocutor types. This is to see how learners' oral requests might vary depending on who their interlocutor is. We collected the oral data and transcribed it so that it could be analysed. We created two coding schemes for the text data analysis, one for identifying pragmatic features, and one for identifying instances of pragmatic failure, and manually applied the coding to the corpus texts. This coding was then analysed for patterns in learner oral requesting that will inform development of the software. The patterns were identified and summarised for use in the next project phase.

理由

The initial phase of the project is to collect oral requesting data, create coding schemes that allow us to identify pragmatic features of learner oral requesting and also instances of pragmatics failure, and manually annotate the corpus text data for these aspects. This work is essential for the next phase of the project, which is to begin developing the computerised dynamic assessment programme, which will auotmatically identify pragmatic failure in learner oral requests and provide feedback. We were able to complete this initial phase of the project.

今後の研究の推進方策

We plan to build upon the work we completed in the first phase of the project. In the first phase, we created a corpus of learner oral requests, applied coding schemes to the data that allowed us to identify patterns of pragmatic failure in the target learners' requesting. Following this we will use this to begin the development process of the dynamic assessment programme. We will begin the development of the various aspects of the programme, including the automatic voice recognition functionality, development of the computerised interlocutor that learners will interact with, and begin developing the automated feedback system that will promote learner development. We plan to carry out prototyping and testing of the software.
