A Personal Growth Workshop to Improve Academically High-Risk Students' Attitudes toward Teachers

This paper explores the gap between teachers and students’ attitudes toward learning about domestic violence and gay/lesbian issues in the EFL classrooms in a Japanese university. Results showed that students had positive feelings toward learning about domestic violence and gay/lesbian issues, whereas college instructors were sometimes hesitant or disliked teaching about these issues. Students had an intellectual curiosity toward these issues and indicated the connection between learning about these issues and personal growth. On the other hand, instructors showed a lack of confidence or anxiety about discussing these issues in their classrooms. 本論では、大学のEFL教室における、家庭内暴力と同性愛問題に対する学生と教師の意識の違いを研究した。結果として、学生はこれらのトピックを学ぶことに好意的であったのに対し、教師はその重要性を認識しながらも、あまり積極的には取り上げたくないという反応がみられた。学生はジェンダーやセクシュアリティの問題に対する知的好奇心を示し、学ぶことは自己成長につながると述べた。一方、教師はこれらの問題を教えることに対する不安や自信のなさを示した。

High Risk Students

A video-based method of instruction was introduced to develop students academically as well as to implement parallel medium instruction. An action research approach was followed Lectures were video-taped beforehand and worked through with the students by a tutor in scheduled Afrikaans or English periods. Simultaneously a live class situation was handled by the lecturer in the other language. Over and above these methods additional video-based support sessions were conducted by tutors for high risk students. A survey indicated that 85% of students were satisfied with this method of instruction. The perceptions of high risk students to VSI were positive and they passed the examinations. Video lectures need to be carefully planned in order to be acceptable as one of a number of possible instruction methods at a multi-cultural university.

This article reports an evaluation of a group intervention for academically high-risk students. The Excellence-Commitment-and-Effective-Learning (ExCEL) program was developed using Sedlacek's noncognitive model for employing cognitive and noncognitive strategies in a group. Eleven academically high-risk freshmen in a public Midwestern university participated. The results show that participation in the group appears to have enhanced the students' academic performances and study skills.
