Motivation in Language Learning and the Role of Teachers in Motivating Students and Promoting Learner Self-motivation
Get PDFapplication/pdfLearning English as a foreign language is a difficult task, and gaining and maintaining motivation is a constant issue that learners face. This article will undertake a short review of five significant motivation models and theories that are particularly relevant to my teaching context. With reference to those models, attention will then be focused on ways that teachers can assist with not just motivating students, but better equipping them with tools for self-motivation and autonomy.departmental bulletin pape
A Study on the Effectiveness of the CEFR-J Wordlist with Regard to English Newspapers for Learners
Get PDFapplication/pdf昨年までの3 年間，CEFR-J で示されているA1からB2までの語彙が一般紙の英字新聞でどの程度用いられているのかを調査した。その結果，CEFR-J の収録語以外の語が約14-18％もあり，CEFR-J の有効性に疑問が残った。そこで，その延長の研究として，CEFR-J で示されている語彙が学習者向け英字新聞ではどの程度用いられているのかという調査をした。すると，A1が約29-32％，A2が約22-23％，B1が約20-24％，B2が約12-13％，それ以外の語が約10-12％であった。この結果，学習者にとって，学習者向けは一般紙よりは読みやすいが，やはりCEFR-J の有効性に疑問が残ることがわかった。しかし，CEFR-J の語の出現頻度は頁により率にすると約92-4％であった。出現頻度の場合は，CEFR-J 収録語以外の語の中には，品詞違い語や派生語が約32-37％含まれているので，実際のCEFR-J の語の出現頻度は約94.7-96.0％以上なので，「最低限の」語彙カバー率であると言える。departmental bulletin pape
Reports on Trial Practice of Psychological Tests
Get PDFapplication/pdf本稿では，心理職養成に係る大学院教育の一環として実施した心理検査模擬実習の試みについて報告する。大学院生が実際にクライエントを担当することに先立ち，検査者として必要な専門的知識・技術・態度を修得することがそのねらいであった。仮想の事例設定にもとづき，検査者役を大学院生が，またクライエント役を相談員がそれぞれ務めた。検査者には，検査場面への導入から実際の検査課題の実施，終了後の対応に至るまでの一連の流れを実際に演じてもらい，担当教員も同席した。事後には，検査者役，クライエント役，担当教員が相互に気づきを共有し，検査者としてさらに習熟するための課題を明確にした。この試みを振り返り，心理検査模擬実習のもつ構造や，心理検査技術を習得する際の目標および方法を考察した。departmental bulletin pape

The Effect of Instruction on Hedging on Japanese L2 English Learners’ Perceived Ability to Express Opinions
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis study investigates Japanese L2 English learners’ perceived ability to express their opinions and oppose the opinions of others. Specifically, the study investigates the effect of an activity that teaches about hedge use on learners’ perceptions. The aims of the study are pursued by creating 15-week online discussion forums for pairs of learners to discuss controversial topics with one another. The study measures learners’ perceived ability to express and oppose opinions via a sixpoint questionnaire before starting the discussion forum, before the teaching activity, after the teaching activity, and at the end of the discussion forum. The participants are 80 first-year students who are enrolled at a middle-ranking Japanese university. They are from three classes, consisting of 61 females and 19 males in total. The investigations find that participants perceive an improvement in their ability to express and oppose opinions after receiving instruction on hedge use. The study concludes that EFL instructors may employ activities on hedge use to improve students’ confidence in their discussion skills.departmental bulletin pape
