研究実績の概要

Tasks for eliciting email text data were created, based on questionnaire data from a sample of the student population. Data were ranked in terms of frequency, with the most frequent serving as templates for tasks. Draft tasks were validated by expert English users for, and then administered online to 426 student participants. From the participants, approximately 1,500 texts were elicited and collated into a corpus of learner emails. A sample of the corpus was subject to preliminary analysis, identifying pragmatic failure relating to politeness, formality and email structure.

理由

The project is progressing according to the timetable set out in the application. Tasks have been created, data elicited and collated into a corpus, and a preliminary analysis has been conducted.

今後の研究の推進方策

In the next phase of the project, the full corpus dataset will be manually annotated by expert English users for specific instances of pragmatic failure. Inter-rater reliability will be checked to ensure a reasonable level of agreement between annotators. A prototype of the diagnostic learning assessment online tool will be developed, using the corpus to help automatically identify failure. This prototype will be piloted on a small group of participants to check effectiveness.

次年度使用額が生じた理由

Our original intention was for expert English users to be paid to annotate the full data set last year, but this work will be done this year instead.
