卒業直前の英語科教員志望学生の当事者研究 ―コミュニケーションの学び直しの観点から―

抄録

With increasing work-related communicative demands for school teachers, it is imperative that universities provide prospective teachers with learning opportunities to successfully communicate in challenging situations. This paper reports a case study of introducing Tojisha Kenkyu, or a communal exploration by and for persons in challenging situations, to university students before their graduation with the English teacher’s license. Through the four sessions coupled with reflection on an electronic bulletin board, students (re)learned the importance of equality between speakers, self-exposure of negative points, a context with shared metacommunicative values, and reciprocity of communication.
