研究実績の概要

The research purpose is to examine the relationship between the percentage of words known in a text (i.e., coverage) and reading comprehension with different methods from past research. That is, coverage is estimated by having learners translate most of the content words in the text into their first language. This is significant as it is the first coverage-comprehension study to use meaning-recall vocabulary assessment.
To date, we have created and published a website, freely available to researchers, to test meaning-recall vocabulary knowledge in context (see https://doi.org/10.37546/JALTJJ45.2-2). We also published research comparing meaning-recall vocabulary knowledge at different levels of contextualization (see https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmal.2023.100075). From this, we determined that for the main study, vocabulary would be assessed by having learners translate short sentences containing target words, as this yields results basically the same as full contextualization and is more expedient.
We then developed and piloted reading comprehension and vocabulary tests for the main study with learners from Japan, Vietnam, and China. The data were coded and analyzed, and a power analysis was conducted to determine an appropriate N-size for the main study. In March of 2024, data collection for the main study began.

理由

The study is delayed because data collection and analysis for the pilot study took longer than expected. We assess vocabulary knowledge by having learners translate target words into their first language. Words in one language often do not map neatly onto words in another language. So, to determine whether responses are correct requires highly bilingual, trained markers to judge responses, which takes time. Additionally, because the study involves learners from multiple first-language (L1) backgrounds, care is needed to ensure that judgments are consistent across the different L1 groups. Other than that, the research is progressing smoothly, and data collection for the main study has begun.

今後の研究の推進方策

In 2024, we plan to collect data for the main study from learners in Vietnam, China, and Japan. This differs from our original research plan in two ways. First, it is delayed by one year as described in 現在までの進捗状況. Second, we planned to collect data from learners whose first language (L1) is Arabic, but our contact in Saudi Arabia is no longer able to participate in the project. While having learners from many L1 backgrounds make the findings more robust, we will continue with 3 L1 groups. Data coding and analysis will begin in late 2024, and the results will be submitted for publication and disseminated in academic conferences in 2025 and 2026.

次年度使用額が生じた理由

The funds will be used to pay study participants, to purchase books, and to pay for conference travel.

備考

The website listed above is designed for teachers and researchers to test meaning-recall vocabulary knowledge in context.
