研究実績の概要 |
We made progress in refining our grounded theory of avidization in extensive reading. We have identified three main processes that take place within the trajectory of ER avidization that we have labeled as infograzing, story-hunting and book-mining. One more process that subverts avidization is that of data-grinding. We have identified strategies, trajectories, and implications for second language Extensive Reading Classes. Our presentations at at Kanazawa University and the University of London was a success, and we have begun publishing our theory internationally. This represents progress in our research and a contribution to the academic community's understanding of extensive reading practices.

理由
We have successfully navigated past the challenges that previously hindered our research during the time of COVID-19. We are now able to meet with research informants and have effectively developed our grounded theory to encompass the social processes, problems, and contingencies experienced by students in extensive reading classes. This advancement has also enabled us to extend our research beyond the Japanese context, establishing comparative groups in other countries. As we begin to explore the social processes of Extensive Reading teachers, we are planning to disseminate our findings both in Japan and internationally as this year progresses.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
As discussed above, We anticipate the opportunity to expand our theory by investigating the essential processes, problems, and issues faced by language teachers, which are crucial for the success of Extensive Reading in Second Language Learning. We plan first to learn whether language teachers also engage in the same sorts of social processes (i.e. infograzing, story-hunting, book-mining, or data-grinding) as this affects language learners and further refines our theoretical framework. On research trips, we will develop contacts with educators, setting the stage for this exploration. This will enrich our current research and prepare the foundation for further study during subsequent grant periods.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
We have been catching up from the time when travel and research interactions were limited by COVID-19. For the upcoming year, we have received invitations to share our research findings at international venues. To support these developments, we are seeking funding to cover essential resources for travel, including funding for basic materials and office supplies. Securing these funds will enable us to engage in academic exchanges and for our research to continue to make a contribution to second language education in Japan.
