| 概要 | Language learners have been shown to benefit greatly from reading large amounts of the target language, especially when it is graded so that the syntax and lexis are at a level that is easy for them to comprehend. The presenter's research has shown, however, that Japanese undergraduates enrolled in an extensive reading (ER) program are not reading directly in English a lot of the time, but are translating occasionally, or even sentence by sentence. The research approach combined quantitative analysis of a survey of 2,500 Japanese undergraduates who had been doing ER for about a year with a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews and analyses of ER texts with 30 volunteers from the same student cohort. The presentation will outline the reasons provided by the data about why students switch into thinking in Japanese and translating what they are reading in English. |
