The Impact

This study focuses on the use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) smart speakers and smartphone applications for improving the English language skills of L1 Japanese undergraduates. An empirical investigation was carried out with 82 Japanese students. Participants were required to study a variety of online English programmes using AI speakers over an eight-month period. The results showed that students using AI speakers outperformed on the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) a group of non-AI users, who instead exclusively used online materials. This research suggests integrating blended learning, including AI and Virtual Reality (VR), may be an effective way to improve the English proficiency of native Japanese.

Research Questions

The goal of this study was to elucidate how students’ preferences regarding their first language use (L1, or Japanese) in the second language (L2, or English) class varied with proficiency. Participants were 305 first- and second-year students in English-language courses in International Studies and Information Technology departments in a Japanese university. Research questions: 1) Did desires for L1 support vary with proficiency (“Proficiency Effect”); did proficiency levels influence when L1 support was 2) desirable; and 3) undesirable? Participants selected yes/no or multiple choice answers in an anonymous questionnaire. Agreement percentages, classified by participants’ scores on the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) into five proficiency levels, were analysed using Excel. Results revealed two Proficiency Effect patterns, influencing when L1 support was most and least desired in varying classroom situations. Participants preferred more instructive than affective L1 support. Recommendations for educators and future research were suggested. 本論の目的は、第2言語（L2または英語）授業における第1言語（L1または日本語）使用に関して、学生のL2習熟度に応じて、学生の希望がどのように変化するかを把握することにある。本研究は、日本の大学で国際学部および情報科学部に在籍する、1・2年生305名を被験者として行った。リサーチ・クエスチョンは、以下の通りである:(1)L1サポートに対する希望の強さは、学生の習熟度に応じて変化するのか(「習熟度効果」の有無)、(2)・(3) 学生の習熟度レベルは、どういった状況でL1サポートが望ましいのか、または望ましくないのかを左右するのか。前述の学生は、無記名方式のアンケートにおいて、「はい/いいえ」を選択、または多岐選択方式で回答した。質問に同意した学生の割合を、学生のTOEICスコアに応じて5段階の習熟度に振分け、Excelを用いて分析した。調査結果は、2通りの習熟度効果の存在を示唆した。これらの効果は、英語授業における様々な状況で、L1サポートが最大限および最小限に必要とされるか否かに影響を及ぼしていた。情意のL1サポートと教室内の指示に関するL1サポートを比べた場合、本論の被験者は後者に関してより多くのL1サポートを希望していた。英語教育者向けにいくつかの提言を行い、今後の研究計画についても言及した。

Significance of the English language use in the globalized economy has been indisputable. Reforms of educational systems have been tailored to accommodate the role of the English language in today’s globalized context. While many scholars are propagating dissemination of this idea ranging from innovating language teaching methodologies to unique business strategies, still many are pointing to problems related to cultural and socio-political issues. A dichotomy between the single language use for international communication and local languages throughout the world brings up a major intercultural issue. Solutions to this issue represent a complex and difficult task requiring organized efforts both at national and global levels.

В данной статье аргументируется необходимость пересмотра номенклатуры профессионально-профильных устно-речевых умений как объекта контроля при обучении практической фонетике английского языка в языковом вузе в условиях функционирования английского языка как глобального лингва франка. Основываясь на результатах анализа научных и нормативных источников, автор предлагает расширенный перечень профессионально-профильных устно-речевых умений, формирование и развитие которых представляется целесообразным для студентов, обучающихся по программам бакалавриата языкового вуза (педагогический профиль). Предлагаемая номенклатура продуктивных и рецептивных умений учитывает требования к нормативности в оформлении устной речи будущего преподавателя английского языка, необходимость формирования медиативных устно-речевых умений при овладении фонетикой английского языка как глобального лингва франка, а также необходимость формирования и поддержания готовности студентов языкового вуза к общению в условиях социокультурного разнообразия и произносительной вариативности. This article seeks to justify the necessity of rethinking and re-establishing the range of professional pronunciation skills that English language teaching and linguistics majors are required to develop. This change is conditioned by the status of English as a global lingua franca, i.e., the primary language of international communication, and the consequent recent change in international requirements towards English learners’ pronunciation. The suggested list of pronunciation skills is based on the recommendations outlined in contemporary phonetics research as well as Russian and international educational standards and requirements. It takes into consideration the necessity of developing students’ mediation skills as well as their readiness to participate in intercultural communication with the representatives of various sociocultural and linguistic backgrounds.

English Language Policy

English in Nepal is generally believed to be used only for international communication. The medium of instruction in private boarding schools is English & in most public schools are also practicing English medium classes. Most of the private schools have applied compulsory English language policy. English continues to play a crucial role in the communication among the students in those schools. This study has made an attempt to analyse the reason behind adopting compulsory English language policy and also tried to explore the trend of following the language policy by the students of grade nine. The study concludes that parents in particular and the society as a whole is responsible for the compulsory English language policy and the students of grade nine do not follow the school policy for exercising the freedom.

English language has obtained the status of the prime world language due to its multiple functions in international communication: it is the lingua franca for politics, diplomacy, international academic and business conferences, the leading language for science and technology, mass media, computers and entertainment. English language as the main medium worldwide is important both in global and local sense. The expansion of communities of users of English has indicated pragmatic, conceptual and discourse variation that has created new communicative needs. Before continuing to refer to other matters connected to English language as one of the main global and most widely used languages, the primary step is to look at its history, its origins and development.
