研究実績の概要 |
To date, we have been able to develop a basic grounded theory of social processes that students typically carry out within extensive reading. We have presented our findings and theory on a number of online conference events. We are in the process of developing the theory along the next line of investigation, that of the language teachers, as it seems clear that their experiences, beliefs, and practices as readers (both in their first and second languages) affect instruction within extensive reading language classes.

理由
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in our plans to meet research informants and to develop our grounded theory to the level of including the social processes, problems, and contingencies of language teachers who are tasked with the running of extensive reading classes. Our hopes of further extending beyond the Japanese context in order to develop comparative groups in other countries with the hopes of further verifying and validating aspects of our theory have also been delayed, due to the difficulties, risks, time, and added expense of travel, either inside or outside of Japan.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
Because it is likely that travel and the development of contacts with educators, vital for the further expansion of this theory, will not be possible until sometime this year, we will continue to deepen and further extend the theory as it pertains to language learners, and make preparations to extend this theory later through making contacts which we hope can be studied and developed during another research grant period.
|
次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
We were unable to use funds over the last year due to closures and restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is our hope to use the funds later this year in order to attend international conferences, to meet with educators both within and outside of Japan, and to further develop the grounded theory to include the role of educators in Extensive Reading courses.
