リメディアル学生のニーズに基づく英語授業の検討とその実践

抄録

This study examined an English class based on the needs of university students with low English proficiency to improve students' self-efficacy toward English learning. It procured suggestions from the representations of ideal English teachers previously surveyed by the author. The participants were 36 second-year Japanese university students who were placed in the lowest level English class based on their TOEIC scores. All of them were highly anxious about learning English and showed negative attitudes toward English. The author had taught the students English for one year and was aware of how they wished to be taught. The results indicated a significant improvement in the students' self-efficacy toward English learning, and the students showed a positive attitude in class. In addition, the author had opportunities to reflect on the teaching method and attitude toward the students.
