Setting achievable goals for students is an important part of teaching as it makes learning more effective. Our study aimed to examine how language learners are kept motivated by showing them improvements made by other nonnative speakers. We used two types of motivational tools to achieve this: video clips of the performance of former students and a visual demonstration of the changes in the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) scores of nonnative speakers. Study participants were 56 Japanese college students enrolled in either TOEIC preparation courses or speaking courses. Before and after demonstrating the improvements of other learners, students answered written questions regarding their language learning experiences, their beliefs about language learning, and what they learned from observing other students’ improvements. The results indicated that the motivational tools were useful in building positive attitudes toward language learning. These findings also suggested that both tools were beneficial for students in either the TOEIC preparation or speaking courses. Based on these quantitative results, we propose that it is essential to set achievable goals to keep learners motivated for task performance.

Learners in foreign language classrooms can benefit from viewing model videos featuring other non-native speakers, which helps to develop their public speaking performance. The present study attempts to replicate Okada, Sawaumi, and Ito (2017), who demonstrated how the viewing order of different model speakers affected learners’ public speaking performance. The participants were Japanese freshmen (N = 24) enrolled English communication courses. In the classroom-oriented study, one group was shown more- and less-proficient speaker models prior to delivering the second and third presentations, respectively; the other group was shown the same models in the opposite order. To determine whether the models impacted learners in any meaningful way, self- and peer evaluations were obtained from participants following each speaking performance and analyzed in conjunction with responses to reflection papers. Results from two-way ANOVAs indicated that video-based observational learning in the viewing order of less-proficient speakers first and more-proficient ones next resulted in improved peer evaluation in subsequent performances, which was consistent with the findings of Okada et al. (2017). Responses to reflection papers revealed that either more-proficient or less-proficient speaker models helped enhance learners’ awareness of self/others and improve their own public speaking skills in the EFL classroom.

Abstract: Having a dream is a way to meet the deceased for survived family members. We make it clear what kind of dream the bereaved family sees, to resume communication with the deceased. Twenty-seven interview stories in the book She came to see me in my dream were analyzed by the text mining technique. The most frequently used words were nouns such as “togetherness,” “earthquake disaster,” “tsunami,” “dream,” and verbs such as “be,” “get together,” “think,” “see,” and “talk”. The future of the dream was clarified by frequency analysis of dependency and reputation analysis. It will be discussed how surviving family members often have an orientation and sense of values that are together with those of the departed soul in the dream by experiencing the encountering of shadows and the soul of the dead.

This document summarizes a study that analyzed narratives from a book containing interviews of Japanese families who lost loved ones in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The study used text mining techniques to analyze 27 interviews from the book. Key findings included that frequently used words in the interviews were related to togetherness, the earthquake/tsunami, dreams, and communication verbs. Analyses of word dependencies and sentiment found that dreams allowed families to feel reunited with deceased loved ones. The study suggests the dreams helped families cope with ambiguous loss and find purpose and direction in their lives after the disaster.
