Considering Some of the Practical Issues of Materials Development Reviewed
Brian Cullen,Niall Walsh
2022 PanSIg Journal 2022 2023.05
Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：JALT
This paper builds upon earlier survey research from Walsh and Cullen (2021) that investigated the materials development approaches of a
sample of EFL teachers in Japan. A major limitation of that study that prompted the current one was its failure to spotlight the d etailed
practices of individual teachers. Through case studies, the real-life experiences of four experienced teachers are documented. The results
reflect the previous study's data insofar as the main challenges are a lack of time and resources. Additionally, material developers generally
do not follow a principled framework when constructing or evaluating their materials, nor is there much awareness of research or models in
the wider fields beyond EFL, such as education and instructional design. Based on these results, the paper concludes with potential solutions
for how the language teaching profession in Japan can support materials developers and mobilize the whole profession towards producing
higher quality materials -

Creating high quality audio for listening materials. Reviewed
Sam Keith, Brian Cullen
JALT Postconference Publication - Issue 2021.1; August 2022 2021 ( 1 ) 167 - 181 2022.08
Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：JALT
This paper introduces a practical step-by-step process for the creation of high-quality audio
materials for use in EFL listening materials. The paper begins by explaining a simple approach
based on using the built-in functionality of smartphones, showing in detail how to record and edit
audio for use in language-learning activities. The use of effects such as equalization, compression,
and noise reduction is explained, and the reader will learn how to export audio. By the end of the
paper, the reader will have an understanding of the entire process of turning scripted or unscripted
listening materials into a complete high-quality product that can be used in the classroom or for
online learning activities.DOI： https://doi.org/10.37546/JALTPCP2021

TEEE; A New English Education System for First Year Students at Institutes of Technology in Tokai
2010.04 - 2012.12
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(C)
Ishikawa Yuka, Cullen Brian, Asai Atushi
The aim of the research is to develop a new English education system for first year student majoring in engineering at institutes of technology in the Tokai area. We created an English teacher's network for TEEE (Tokai English Education for Engineering Students), in order to clarify current problems, to develop a new methodology, and to apply it to our students. Results of the study suggested that teaching ESP (English for Specific Purposes) through the TEEE system can be effective not only for graduate students but also for first year students, since students are generally motivated to study science and engineering although their technical and English knowledge is very limited.
