抄録

In order to promote Active Learning in a remedial English class, the author developed materials in accordance with Content Based Instruction (CBI). Materials included a script in which American students are studying global warming in an environment class, and visual materials cited from websites of scientific institutions in the U.S. They enabled her students to do three kinds of Active Learning: a group activity of interpreting a scientific graph, a presentation or a performance of reading the script aloud in groups, and judging the performances of other groups. Authentic visual materials succeeded in motivating students. The author’ s results indicate that Active Learning, combined with materials based on CBI, is effective in a remedial English class.
