  • Dynamic Changes and Individual Differences in Learners’ Perceptions of Cooperative Learning During a Project Activity Reviewed

    Although cooperative learning is a well-researched framework with many reports on its effective implementation in education, successful cooperative learning practice remains elusive in the classroom. The literature suggests certain elements of cooperative learning are key, but few studies have addressed their importance with respect to the dynamics of the learning activity and differences in individual learners’ attitudes. The objective of this study is to examine (1) whether learners’ perception of cooperative learning changes throughout a project, and (2) how differently individual learners perceive their activities with reference to the five elements (i.e. positive interdependence; face-to-face promotive interaction; individual accountability; social skills; group processing), and thereby to explore measures for successful implementation of cooperative learning. Analyses of a questionnaire survey and weekly journal entries revealed that there were dynamic changes in learners’ perception of cooperative learning in accordance with the shifts in phases of the project. The results also showed that there were significant differences in individual learners’ perceptions and that their engagement in cooperative learning could be affected by certain factors that were not weighed by the five elements. The results of this study can provide hints for better pedagogical interventions for teachers introducing cooperative learning into the classroom.

    This “Opinion” discusses the importance of engagement in second language acquisition, emphasizing that motivation alone is insufficient for successful learning. Drawing on research, it highlights the multifaceted nature of engagement, examining its behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects. By focusing on the central roles of behavioral and cognitive engagement, the paper demonstrates the interrelatedness of these aspects and their collective impact on learning outcomes. To foster effective foreign language learning, the author suggests leveraging these engagement characteristics and evaluating learners’ efforts from an integrated perspective.

    Student engagement in the second language classroom has been the focus of numerous researchers and teachers. Previous studies have shown that there are several dimensions of student engagement, but it is still unclear how they change (or not) over time and consequently how they affect actual task performance. This study investigated the task engagement of language learners engaged in collaborative writing in pairs. Specifically, it focused on the combination of behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of task engagement, and examined which combinations resulted in better task performance. Participants were 60 Japanese university students who worked in pairs on a picture description task. Multiple data sources, such as the number of words/turns/language-related episodes, patterns of dyadic interaction, and self-reported questionnaire results, were utilized to investigate the process of students’ task engagement. The results showed: that the 30 participating pairs fell into three groups showing similar combinations of dimensions; that there was a significant difference in actual engagement between the groups and across time; and that such differences had a significant impact on task performance. Based on the results, pedagogical implications for teachers are discussed concerning the use of pair work in the language classroom.

    This study examined the performance of university foreign language learners on a writing task by comparing paired work (n = 50) against individual work (n = 50). Data were collected based on three aspects of learners’ task engagement: behavioral (time spent working on the task, number of words written), linguistic (English writing scores), and affective (attitudes toward the task). The results showed that (1) all participants worked on the task for the same amount of time and produced a similar number of words, (2) texts written by pairs were similar to and as accurate/fluent as those written individually, and (3) learners who worked in pairs evaluated the task more positively than did those who worked individually. A more detailed examination using cluster analysis revealed that while there was generally a positive relationship between each aspect of task engagement, a trade-off might occur depending on the situation, and one aspect might mediate the effect of others. In addition, by examining the differences between a successful and a less successful pair, this study provides pedagogical implications in relation to the use of pair work activities in the language classroom.

    The purpose of this study is to identify patterns of transitions in L2 learning motivation and factors that influence those transitions from the perspective of Dynamic Systems Theory. Based on the results of a series of questionnaires, 82 first-year university EFL students were divided into several groups (i.e., clusters) with similar motivational profiles. Repeated measure ANOVAs and regression analyses were used to identify critical points of transitions in motivation within each group and the factors thought to have influenced those changes. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted to investigate in detail the conditions under which student motivation increased or decreased. The results highlighted three patterns of motivational changes: consistently highly motivated, increasingly motivated, and decreasingly motivated groups. Learners with decreasing motivation tended to create a supportive climate from surrounding personal relationships while those with increasing motivation focused on setting appropriate learning goals and appreciated specific motivational instruction. Learners with high motivation, however, were self-motivating and did not rely on particular strategies. Based on the overall results, educational implications and directions for future research are provided.

    The English Education Center at Ehime University has been carrying out a series of studies in order to establish achievement goals and standards for evaluating achievement in General Education English classes. Based on preliminary questionnaires given to instructors and students, we have created tentative "Can-Do Lists" (benchmarks for evaluating English language proficiency) for four language skills. This paper, focusing especially on the benchmark of the writing skill, reports the current attempt to elaborate and validate the "Can-Do Lists", and suggests some effective ways to make good use of them. Although there has conventionally been a strong need for learning support that is based on achievement goals, this paper takes a specific perspective that provides effective guidance for that purpose.

    Language learning strategy training has attracted the attention of many researchers as well as practitioners as a means to cultivate the ability of self-directed learning. Although many studies have been conducted to investigate how and how much this strategy training will improve the quality of language learning at secondary and tertiary schools, almost no research of this kind has been done for English activities at primary schools in Japan. Given this situation, this paper reports the results and challenge of the 10 pilot lessons conducted at a public primary school in Kyoto to examine what effects English activities with such elements integrated bring about. The analysis of pre and post questionnaires to measure students' motivation and strategy use suggested that the pilot lessons had some positive effect on the students' motivation toward English study and their awareness of strategy use. Another analysis conducted on a newly developed instrument: SOLT (Strategy Orientation of Language Teaching) showed that the pilot lesson definitely differed from a regular lesson both quantitatively and qualitatively in terms of strategy instruction.

    This paper reports the current attempt to develop English language proficiency benchmarks (Can-Do lists) suitable for students at Ehime University. A survey was conducted in order to create the educational and achievement goals for the university's General English Education courses and the standards for assessing the level of achievement of those goals. This paper focuses especially on the benchmark of the writing course and describes the concrete procedure by which it was established. If we set appropriate achievement goals and assessment standards we can decide on assessment standards and methods that conform to them. Once such standards and methods have been decided, we can use them as the basis for developing more effective teaching methods. Thus, this paper will be a beneficial source of information for both language educators and curriculum designers who intend to create more appropriate educational and achievement goals for their students and improve methods of teaching and evaluation suitable for them.

    This study investigated whether or not it was possible to motivate L2 learners by introducing an educational intervention based on the theoretical perspective of Self-Determination Theory (SDT). SDT postulates three psychological needs that enhance human motivation, namely, the need for autonomy, the need for competence, and the need for relatedness. English learning activities that had the potential to stimulate the three needs simultaneously were designed and given to 100 first-year university students for a period of 12 weeks. Prior to the beginning of the intervention, students were given questionnaires about several types of motivation toward English learning and the three psychological needs. The same questionnaires were administered at the end of the intervention. Changes in scores, i.e., the difference between pre-test and post-test scores, served as the measures of development in learners' motivation. In addition, to investigate in detail the manner in which the three psychological needs act in terms of enhancing motivation among learners, a survey using an open-response format was also administered after the intervention. The results showed that the educational intervention had a significant positive effect on learners' motivation toward English learning. Furthermore, more detailed analysis focusing on individual differences revealed that the facilitating role of the three psychological needs varied according to learners' motivational profiles. In short, less motivated learners seemed to benefit the most from satisfaction of the need for competence and relatedness, whereas learners with a higher level of motivation required the need for autonomy for their motivational development. This suggests that educators who intend to enhance learners' motivation should differentiate their teaching strategies depending on the motivational profiles of learners.

    The will to learn for student (i.e., motivation) is considered to significantly affect the success of learning not only in the case of L2 learning, but throughout all aspects of educational activities. Although numerous studies have been conducted thus far relating to motivation, there have been few definitive conclusions drawn regarding the manner in which findings that corroborate motivation theories obtained through these studies can be applied to actual L2 classroom activities. In addition, numerous studies have been conducted on the premise that motivation already exists, thus indicating a lack of studies on strategies for enhancing motivation in the form of what should actually be done to motivate L2 students (i.e., motivating theory). This study aims to examine motivating factors with reference to Self-Determination Theory (SDT, hereafter), one of the well-developed theories in psychology. SDT assumes the existence of three psychological needs (i.e., the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) as prerequisites for enhancing student motivation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the manner in which these three psychological needs of SDT act in terms of enhancing motivation among L2 students from the perspectives of general tendency and individual differences. The results showed that students' perceptions of psychological needs had a strong influence on their L2 motivation. In particular, in order to enhance self-determined forms of motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation), it was found that targeting each student's perceptions of competence and relatedness could be a good strategy. If it is possible to determine those characteristics that serve to enhance motivation among L2 students, then they prove to be a valuable source of information in terms of implementing instructional guidance that effectively motivates L2 students in the classroom.

    Recent research in L2 language education has begun to recognize that metacognition plays a significant role in L2 learning processes. These studies have investigated metacognitive awareness of learning strategies and the relationships among perceived strategy use, actual strategy use, and L2 performance. This paper reports a classroom-based, longtitudinal study of the effect of metacognitive strategy instruction on reading comprehension. To achieve the purpose of the study, two groups of EFL university students were assigned to an experimental and a control group. Both groups received instruction on reading strategies through a ten-week period. However, only the experimental group received metacognitive strategy training during this period. The results showed that: (1) explicit metacognitive strategy training has a significant positive effect on reading comprehension; (2) although all subjects in the experimental group showed considerable gains, lower-ability subjects seemed to benefit the most from strategy training. Strategy training research so far has seemed to focus on the cognitive aspects of language learning processes. Relatively little research on metacognitive strategy training has been done in an L2 context. However, this study showed a potential role of metacognition in effective L2 learning. If students could reflect upon their learning processes properly, they would become better prepared to make conscious decisions about what they can do to improve their learning.

    This study discusses the application of Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) to the real TEFL classes in a Japanese high school. In this theory, it is postulated that the three psychological need factors influence human motivation; the need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The authors hypothesized that the three factors may also influence learners' motivation for English learning in real classroom settings. Studies, which consisted of four steps, were conducted. Firstly, a self-report questionnaire that assesses students' perceptions of the three psychological needs in English learning was developed. Secondly, this scale was administered to 109 first grade high school students. Thirdly, a confirmatory factor analysis was carried out, using structural equation modeling technique, and also the reliability of the components was assessed. Finally, the interrelationship among these three psychological needs was examined. Results indicated that the perceptions of relatedness were not directly linked to those of competence, however, they were associated with perceptions of autonomy, and hence indirectly related to those of competence. In addition, it is suggested that the role of homeroom teachers, as well as English teachers, is significant to make a classroom climate that enhances students' perceptions of competence.

    The impact of smartphone filming activities on English speaking was investigated mainly from a motivational perspective. Although the questionnaire survey and the descriptive records made during the implementation of the task did not show statistically significant differences between video and face-to-face presentations, the analysis of learners divided into clusters based on certain tendencies indicated that video production may have an effect on learners who feel the importance of English but are anxious about speaking, and that video production may alleviate their anxiety. It is suggested that video production is effective as practice before giving a presentation. How to incorporate video production tasks according to learning objectives and learner types will be an issue for future research.

    This study evaluates how Japanese English learners perceive cooperative learning (CL) elements in the course of a group activity. Analyzing the responses to a questionnaire survey and students’ weekly journal entries, we assessed how students’ perceptions of CL elements varied and what individual differences in students’ attitudes towards CL arose as the project progressed. Our analysis of the survey results indicates that all five elements, particularly positive interdependence and face-to-face promotive interaction, were considered well implemented in the activity. In weekly journal entries, students focused on individual accountability and face-to-face promotive interaction. Notably, elements with high mean scores on the survey, indicating strongly positive perception, were not commensurately mentioned in journals, while the element with the lowest mean score (individual accountability) was mentioned most often in journals.

    It is pointed out students majoring in economics and commercial science are most likely to spend their college days without specific purposes or strong motivation to study. As instructors involved in developing and managing English programs for economics students, the researchers sought possibilities to help students to raise awareness of their goals of studying, to study English with specific purposes in mind, and to establish their identity as economics students. The researchers conducted questionnaire surveys to examine the sense of belongingness of the first-year students, and also conducted analyses of the students' performance on different types of exercises for the course of Introductory Economics in English as well as the questionnaires asking how they approached the coursework. The results suggest, among others, that the students need more experience in a variety of challenging productive response tasks in English, which is an essential part of studying Economics.

    In this study, we investigated the relationships among strategy use, motivation, and general learner beliefs in L2 reading by implementing teaching practices including a strategy intervention. The results indicated that there are significant relationships among strategy use, motivation, and general learner beliefs in L2 reading, and that strategy intervention can have a positive influence on motivation and beliefs as well as on reading proficiency. It was also shown that the development and interaction of these individual difference factors differ among L2 readers according to their individual difference profiles.

    Recent research investigating how the motivation to learn English can be enhanced has included several studies that discussed numerous motivational strategies. However, in order for the outcomes of these studies to be fully utilized in actual classroom settings, they need to be used diagnostically and applied directly to the subsequent educational as well as curriculum improvement. This study examined how English learners perceive motivational strategies, and whether instructional practice in keeping with the appraisal of these perceptions influences their motivation toward English learning. The results showed that (1) learners with different motivations appraised the effectiveness of motivational strategies in different ways, and (2) less motivated learners seemed to benefit the most from the instructional practice using motivation diagnosis as references. Based on the results, some educational implications and directions for future research are provided.

    This study aimed to examine motivating factors for English learning and investigate whether or not it was possible to motivate EFL learners by introducing an educational intervention based on these factors. More specifically, the manner in which the motivating factors act in terms of enhancing motivation among the students from the perspectives of general tendency and individual differences was examined. Furthermore, based on the results mentioned above, "Can-Do Lists" (benchmarks for evaluating English language proficiency) were created and some effective ways to make good use of them were also suggested.

    This study investigates psychological factors that affect the accuracy, fluency, and complexity of unplanned speech in the L2 when performing under pressure. To address this problem, participants were requested to perform, under pressure, an unplanned story telling task based on four pictures. After completing the speaking task, the participants answered a questionnaire designed to assess psychological factors. Overall, the results showed that not only language proficiency but also psychological factors (e.g., positive attitude toward a task, language awareness) were related to the speech performance of L2 learners.

    The purpose of this study is to examine how native speakers (NSs) of Japanese who are not teaching the language to learners evaluate the linguistic performance of non-native speakers (NNSs). Findings from this study, together with ones from previous studies on the topic, will be disseminated to teachers of Japanese so that : (1)they can identify a list of items which receive NSs' attention in learner performance, and prioritize their instruction in the classroom based on the tendency ; and (2)teachers can become aware of the items which receive NSs' positive evaluation and promote their teaching of the items.
    By creating syllabuses and curriculums based on the tendency found in NSs' evaluation of NNSs' linguistic performance, teachers can help their learners to focus on the items which tend to receive NSs' negative evaluation.
    This study is significant in that it can propose the reconsideration of the order of introducing linguistic items to learners, which has often been determined based mostly on teachers' personal experience and/or textbook writers' intuition.
