研究実績の概要 |
In Japan, opportunities to experience English in everyday situations are rare, so one innovative institution has created a simulated environment where students can experience English in realistically reproduced settings, such as a pharmacy, hotel or airplane. Unlike the real world, this approach provides learners with a safe place to experiment and play with language without fearing actual consequences for their mistakes. As Conversation Analysts and language teachers, we are interested in the interaction that goes on in this unique setting and how it provides opportunities for learning that don't exist in normal language classrooms. We are also investigating experiential language learning in other settings, such as cooking classes, VR games and in mundane talk beyond the classroom.

理由
The project experienced some setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic because we were unable to gain access to the educational institution. For this reason, we had to postpone some of the data collection. We were also able to extend the data collection to other comparable sites, including an institution that teaches cooking in English and the VR platform TGG was developing. COVID-19の流行時には、教育機関へのアクセスができず、プロジェクトが頓挫したこともありました。そのため、データ収集の一部を延期せざるを得ませんでした。また、英語で料理を教える教育機関や、TGGが開発していたVRプラットフォームなど、他の比較対象にもデータ収集を拡大することができました。
