今後の研究の推進方策 |
The analysis of the data will be completed from May to July 2016. From August 2016 to March 2017, I intend to disseminate the results through various conferences and reports. Specifically, I intend to present the findings at the 35th Second Language Research Forum in September 2016 and the American Association of Applied Linguistics in March, 2017. During the period January to March 2017, I also intend to write two research papers based on this research. Written reports will be sent to a peer reviewed journal, such as TESOL Quarterly or Applied Linguistics.
