    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

    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.

Scientific Research Funds Acquisition Results

  • 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

      More details

    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.
