英語学習者の外来語認識と英文読解
The present study investigated three aspects of loanwords : how loanwords were utilized in English learning, how they were recognized in English texts, and how they affected reading comprehension. Four reading texts were used and manipulated by the number of loanwords and the degree of topic familiarity and text difficulty. Thirty students with larger vocabularies and 30 with smaller vocabularies were selected from 102 students. First, students responded to a questionnaire about how they perceived loanwords in learning. Then, they read the texts and marked words they recognized as loanwords. Finally, they were provided comprehension questions, followed by their feedback about how familiar and difficult they found it. Major findings were: (1) Students with larger vocabularies rarely used katakana for learning pronunciation, which was significantly different from students with smaller vocabularies, (2) Although the number of loanwords was set in the texts, students with larger vocabularies recognized more loanwords than those with smaller vocabularies, and their recognition rates differed among the four texts, whereas students with smaller vocabularies did not show any differences regardless of whether the text was familiar or difficult, (3) Students with smaller vocabularies showed a significant correlation between the questionnaire responses and the number of loanword recognitions,(4) Students with larger vocabularies outperformed those with smaller vocabularies in reading comprehension, (5) Students with smaller vocabularies strongly perceived a difference due to topic familiarity rather than text difficulty, and (6) Effects of loanwords on topic familiarity and text difficulty in reading comprehension were not clearly shown. In response to the increasing use of loanwords in today’s society, the present study discusses how they can be utilized in vocabulary learning.departmental bulletin pape

既存のEラーニングシステムを補完する環境について : コロナ禍における応急措置としてのプログラミング環境
コロナ禍で対面授業が不可能となった大学の授業では,急遽eラーニングシステムを用いた授業が主たる授業スタイルとなった。しかし,プログラミングのような実習をともなう授業では,eラーニングシステムだけでは対応できない実習環境が存在する。筆者は既存のeラーニングシステムを補完するプログラミングの実習環境を急遽構築し対応した。本稿ではこの補完システムの概要について述べる。departmental bulletin pape
e-Gov法令検索サイトにおける個別条文アクセス処理の並列化について
e-Gov法令検索サイトにおける個々の条文データのアクセスについては、一定のターンアラウンド・タイムを要するが、特に規模の大きな法令については、アクセスに成功した場合と成功しなかった場合のターンアラウンド・タイムの 差が大きい傾向がある。そこで、 枝番号付の条文を悉皆的にツリー探索した場合について、並列処理によってどの程度、当該アクセスのスループットを向上できるのか実際に確認してみることとした。その結果、スループットを5倍ないし20倍程度に向上できることが分かった。しかし、当該実験結果を踏まえても、個別の条文について、その枝番の有無等が分からない現在のAPIについては、非効率的であるとも考えられることから、その仕様を改善することを提案したい。departmental bulletin pape
