2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
By the end of June 2018, we will have been able to have three major LEGO Serious Play workshops at the Japan English Model United Nations: June 2016, June 2017, and June 2018 as part of data gathering and interaction analyses. We gained some insights on the project at the EAIR Forum Porto, and also after some research meetings. We are shifting our focus a bit, and will also look at how LEGO Serious Play can increase confidence in second language learners.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In the third year, the investigators will devote their time to writing up the results and presenting at academic conferences. We will continue: 1. LSP background research and approach creation. 2. Data Collection at the JEMUN conference: June 2018. 3. Gathering survey data from participants at the JEMUN conference: June 2018. 4. Dissemination of results: conference presentation and journal article. At least one of the facilitators on the team hopes to go to the LEGO Serious Play global community meeting in Billund, Denmark to exchange ideas with other LSP facilitators.
