    Research on speech perception suggests that directing attention to a speaker’s mouth can strengthen visual–auditory associations that support comprehension. This study investigates whether such benefits extend to online second-language (L2) learning by examining the effectiveness of feedback delivered through 3D avatars that reproduce articulatory movements. Sixteen Chinese-speaking learners of Japanese (beginner to intermediate levels) were assigned to either a 3D-avatar feedback condition or an audio-only condition within an online training environment. Participants completed a pre-test, a feedback session, and immediate and delayed post-tests targeting the acquisition of Japanese particles. The 3D avatars, created with Unity and DiDiMo, were presented as short video clips, while the audio-only group received the sound extracted from those same clips. Descriptive analyses showed that although the 3D-avatar group did not outperform the audio-only group at any testing point, they exhibited larger gains from pre-test to both post-tests. This pattern may reflect the 3D-avatar group’s lower initial proficiency; nonetheless, the consistent improvement suggests that visually enriched feedback may support L2 development even when it does not lead to higher absolute performance. Further research with larger samples and methods such as eye-tracking is needed to determine whether increased attention to articulatory cues drives these effects and to clarify the potential pedagogical value of 3D-modeled facial movement in online L2 instruction.

    グローバル化に伴って国を越えて移動する年少者や異言語環境で学齢期を過ごす2世児、3世児が増える一方である。このような年少者の言語形成、人問形成にとって現地語の教育と同時に、親の母語・母文化継承(つまり子どもにとっての継承語・継承文化)は教育上重要な意味を持つ。国内の言語的、文化的に多様な背景を持つ外国人児童生徒にも継承語教育は必要不可欠であり、長い歴史を持つ継承日本語教育の知見が今やいかされるべき時が来ている。本研究は、未整理のまま放置されてきた継承語教育の文献を収集、整理、統括したものをデータベース化して母語・継承語・バイリンガル教育研究会(MHB)会員にMHBホームページ上で公開することを目的とする。このために、世界各地に在住する母語・継承語・バイリンガル教育研究会(MHB)会員の中から文献調査協力者を募り、現在2,135点の継承語文献が集まった

    Junko Tanaka, Vivian Bussinguer
    第二言語(L2)を授業言語として教科学習をするマイノリティー児童にとって、学年相当の知識を得ることは難しい。先行研究で提案されてきたように、日常生活に必要な言語能力と教科学習に必要な言語能力が異なる(Cummins,1991)ため、マイノリティー児童が授業についていけるまで何年もかかることがある。日本の場合、日本語指導が必要とされているマイノリティー児童・生徒の中でもブラジル人が最も多い(文部科学省,2008)。本研究では、従来あまり研究対象とされていなかった非集住地区に居住するブラジル人児童(N=41)の日本語とポルトガル語のバイリテラシーや彼らの生活背景・家庭環境について調査した。その結果、彼らのL1とL2の語彙力に親子間での使用言語が大きく関連することがわかった。L2で教育を受けているにも関わらず、学年相当のL2読解力を持つ者は8名(20%)のみであり、授業内容の理解への障害になっていると思われる。

    本研究は、英語冠詞を日本語母語話者が習得する際に困難となる要因について、実証的に検討したものである。具体的には、発話の状況を動画あるいは文章で提示して、英語を話したり、書いたりして産出した。書き言葉データ(1699例)の分析を行った結果、各冠詞の産出頻度はthe(747例)、a(658例)、φ(294例)の順であり、正答率はφ(89.80%)、a(87.23%)、the(82.73%)の順であった。またtheの誤用が多いことが目立った。一方、クローズドテストを使った実験においては、学習者がtheと結びつけ易い特定性の有無が、冠詞を正しく使用するかどうかに関わっていることが分かった。

    We aimed to design and build a system to help second language (L2) educators collect background information of L2 learners utilizing a client-server system. There were three aims. First, create a system for L2 learners to answer questionnaires and respond to psychometric scales on a web-based system. Second, analyze L2 learners' background information and individual differences data; including those obtained through the server-client system, and so identify factors that related to success in L2 learning. Third, provide L2 educators' tools and data as a database to help them quickly grasp the characteristics of their student population and to adapt their teaching methods accordingly. Within the limits of the given research period, we have created a client-server system to collect students' background information and individual difference data. This study involved the participation of Japanese university students learning English as a foreign language. After being collected using the client-server system, data was checked to determine if it was compatible, as collected, with data obtained using paper and pencil. The two data sets were found to be compatible. From this, we could then ascertain some indices that reflected the characteristics of our university student population. Some indices were found to be significantly correlated with scores on a standardized English proficiency test. In respect to our third aim, we are still trying to determine the best way to publish the results ; that is, how broad we should expect the audience to be for the data, and to what extent does the information in the database need to be generalized, but be specific enough for the learning situations of the target audience. Further research is needed ; however, this study has highlighted the functionality of questionnaire-based surveys on a client-server system and its usability for researcher-practitioners.
