Intervention that Encourages the Usage of Reading Strategy in a High School English Class and Its Effects: In the Case of Self-Regulated Learning Material “Text Detectives”

抄録

In this study, we developed a unit involving self-regulated learning through an English lesson (Communication English III) in a third-year class in a Japanese high school. The method of “Text Detectives,” which is a mode in self-regulated learning, was applied to a unit in the textbook called “The 10,000-Hour Rule.” Af t er the “Text Detectives” lesson, the students exhibited a signif icant increase in motivation, such as self-ef f icacy and finding intrinsic value, toward English learning. Also, as a result of introducing a new text in a test, the students’ answers ref lected a spontaneous use of the methods of self-regulated learning.
