2019  Adapting the WebQuest model to teaching English for business. Chapter in Cripps, T. (Ed.), Perspectives on English Language Education in Japan (Volume Two)  未設定   
KDP  , 未設定  , 157-180  , 2019/04/14   

概要(Abstract) This paper describes the author’s adaptation of the WebQuest model for projects in English as a foreign language courses for Japanese university students of business administration. WebQuests are briefly explained, and the author’s initial exposure to the model and reasons for adapting them to his classes are outlined. Then the teaching context and two distinct projects are described in detail. The results of these coursework projects, instructor reflections, and some student reactions are also detailed. These include overall positive impressions of the use of the model for language learning. Finally, some implications and suggestions are noted.

2017  Normalisation in flux: teachers’ and learners’ digital literacy in the Japanese university context. (Bieri, T. E., & Elliott, D.). In K. Borthwick, L. Bradley & S. Thouësny (Eds), CALL in a climate of change: adapting to turbulent global conditions – short papers from EUROCALL 2017.  共著   
EUROCALL & Research-publishing.net  , その他  , 51-55  , 2017/12   

概要(Abstract) Although subsequent research suggests a more nuanced reality, Prensky’s (2001) concept of the digital native remains a compelling and influential metaphor, continuing to shape thinking in education and beyond. This paper addresses self-reported digital literacy of teachers and learners in Japanese tertiary education. An online survey was administered to measure how much access participants have to mainstream technological tools, how often they use particular types of tools and perform certain tasks, and how comfortable they feel using technology. For initial analysis, some items were grouped into constructs labeled work, creative, and social.
The researchers found that teachers appear to be both more comfortable and more frequent users of technology. This is particularly apparent with ‘work’ applications. According to the data, students report lower levels of comfort even for those tools which they as frequently as teachers. In this paper the authors speculate on why this might be and discuss implications for classroom practice.

2017  Using Presentation Software, Peer-instruction and Learner Reflections to Develop Communication Skills, Chapter in S. Ioannou-Georgiou & P. Hubbard (Eds.), Teaching English Reflectively with Technology   共著   
IATEFL  , その他  , 14 p.  , 2017   

概要(Abstract) This chapter describes a project in which small groups of students in English oral communication courses in a Japanese university were asked to research and learn to use presentation software programs, to create a presentation using the software their group was assigned, to present individually to other groups of students about the software, and reflect on the project. I describe the setting and address the objectives of the unit, which were to encourage self-managed learning, cooperation and peer instruction, increased use of digital tools for creating visual aids, and critical reflection by the learners on not only the content of the unit but also the learning process. I give a detailed description of the procedures used, which culminated with learners presenting an evaluation and demonstration of a visual aid tool. I also address critical reflection during and after the project. I summarize the written reflections produced by the students and include examples of their comments.

2023  Investigation of normalization of digital technology in language learning and teaching: Teacher training in MA programs  未設定   
アカデミア 文学・語学編 (115)  , 南山大学南山学会  , 115  , pp. 179-198  , 2024/01   

概要(Abstract) This paper describes qualitative research conducted in late 2019 and early 2020 into to what extent and in what way educational technology was incorporated in the curricula of several Master of Arts (MA) degree programs for language teachers and how administrative faculty viewed the use of technology in language learning and teaching. Institutions in Japan and Michigan, USA offering MA programs on English language teaching were identified and curricular information gathered from what was available publicly online, and then key faculty-administrators in each were identified and contacted. Data was collected from these administrators, who were asked to sit for in-person, semi-structured interviews. The spread of COVID-19 at the same time as some of the interviews resulted in some adjustments to data collection and some data loss. Analysis of the gathered data showed that the programs in general offered little if any instruction in technological pedagogy, and offered only limited experience in using educational technology in the classroom, even though the interviewed administrators expressed beliefs that it was an important element of language teaching. Some reasons for this limited instruction are noted in the results as well. Subsequent reexamination of the available online curricular information shows little apparent change in content of these programs as of 2023 in spite of the general spread of educational technology use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2023  Student Reactions to Basic COIL for Business English  単著   
南山経営研究  , 南山大学経営学会  , 38/2  , pp 147-162  , 2023/10   

概要(Abstract) This paper describes the results and implications of a reflective research project on adopting Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) language and intercultural exchanges in Business English Oral Communication classes, particularly student impressions of the two implementation styles that were incorporated in these classes. Qualitative data was collected via anonymous online surveys conducted after implementation of each of two distinct types of virtual exchanges during the 2019 academic year. Respondents were from convenience samples of intact classes taught by the researcher and another instructor. The research aimed to illuminate what elements of these virtual exchanges these learners liked and did not like, what elements were challenging, what elements were considered motivating and effective, and the reasons for these impressions. The paper outlines how the exchanges were planned and conducted using different online tools and methods, presents survey results, and describes instructor reflections and subsequent methodological adjustments. It is hoped that this information will help instructors in similar contexts provide more motivating and effective exchanges in the future.
