| Popis: | 教材研究 The significant impact of learner attitudes and perceptions on language learning outcomes has been increasingly recognised in the applied linguistics literature. This paper briefly outlines four types of activities used in two English oral communication classes taken by first and second-year learners studying towards a degree in English at Osaka University. At the end of their first semester, learners in both groups were asked to complete a short survey in order to evaluate the individual class activities and the course as a whole in terms of helpfulness for language development, enjoyability, and difficulty. The results of the survey suggest a complex relationship between a given activity’s efficacy for language learning, learners’ enjoyment of the activity, and the level of challenge it poses. Easier and more enjoyable group discussion tasks appear to have been effective both for developing learners’ speaking proficiency and for providing the scaffolding necessary to successfully complete the more difficult presentation tasks that followed. While many learners found the latter tasks to be less enjoyable, there was widespread agreement that the more difficult tasks were helpful for their English speaking skill development. |
