タイトル Teaching Japanese EFL Students to Attain Comprehensible Second
Language Speaking Proficiency
概要
In this talk, I will provide an overview on a series of empirical
studies that my research team has been working on to help Japanese EFL
students speak up, improve and achieve comprehensible speaking
proficiency in classroom settings. First, I will discuss what
comprises a realistic goal for adult L2 speech learning
(comprehensibility rather than nativelikeness) based on the
large-scale corpus data of 200+ Japanese learners who actually use L2
English for academic/business-related purposes in Japan, the UK and
Canada. Next, I will touch on what kinds of pedagogical activities can
be devised with a view of Japanese EFL students’ enhanced confidence
and oral proficiency. To this end, I will introduce our recent
intervention projects, wherein we tested a range of research-based
techniques, such as focused instruction, tasks and corrective
feedback.
