    Purpose – Schools often vary in how they balance teacher autonomy (TA) and administrative control, and research suggests that there may be several context-specific variables which may be influential. The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of program variables on the level of TA, administrative coordination, and administration-staff collaboration in English as a second or other language (ESOL) programs. Design/methodology/approach – Administrators from 130 ESOL programs completed an empirical questionnaire aiming to understand the influence of variables on the level of TA, coordination, and collaboration. The following five variables were hypothesized to be influential based on the literature review: complexity/size
    the variability of students’ needs
    external pressures
    teacher qualifications
    and feasibility. Findings – Top-down coordination was significantly influenced by four of the five of the program variables, and collaboration was predicted by two. However, program complexity/size was the only significant variable influencing the reported level of TA. Research limitations/implications – Teachers were not surveyed in this stage of the research. Follow-up research is planned to involve teaching staff. Practical implications – Administrators may benefit from reflecting more on how they coordinate their program by considering the potential influence of context-specific variables highlighted in the research. The findings could influence administrators to adapt their management style potentially leading to a better working environment and improved student learning outcomes. Originality/value – Previous research has looked at the influence of situational variables on leadership style, but research has not explicitly analyzed the effect of context variables on the level of TA and administrative coordination in educational programs.

    Abstract

    This research utilised eye tracking to examine the vocabulary coping strategies and dictionary skills of Japanese English learners in task-based reading. Participants had access to an online dictionary with four definitions per word, including three inapplicable definitions. The interplay and outcomes of reading strategies and dictionary skills were investigated. The research found that performance was not statistically different compared to previous research where participants had access to a dictionary with only the applicable definition. Given the more difficult dictionary, participants more often made regressions to investigate the context in the text, but they did not reduce their dictionary use. Most participants lacked strategic competence while reading, but they demonstrated competence in dictionary skills. In rare instances of failed dictionary use, readers usually had not inspected the context cues in the text. For task-relevant words, participants who re-read context cues and then used the dictionary performed better. Implications for educators and materials developers are discussed.

    Presentation assignments for second language speakers can take several forms, such as a traditional class presentation or a poster presentation. Poster presentations, which are given repeatedly to small groups, seem to have several advantages, including increased speaking opportunities, more interaction between the speaker and the audience, and less anxiety for the speaker. However, these benefits have not been discussed critically in the literature, let alone researched in experimental studies. This article compares poster presentations and class presentations and their effects on 75 low-proficiency speakers of English at a Japanese college. Video-recorded data, two recall tests, and learner surveys were used to test the hypothesis that poster presentations would lead to an increased rate of speaking, more vocabulary retention, and better affective effects. The results confirm some of these hypotheses, and highlight several factors that second language instructors should consider when planning oral presentations.

    We carried out five empirical experiments using eye tracking to investigate the reading strategies on Japanese learners of English. This has led to five articles in peer-reviewed international journals, including a Q1 and a Q2 journal. Another study is currently being reviewed by a Q1 journal. We also presented the results at 11 conferences. Nine were international conferences, including two presentations at the European Conference of Eye Movements.
    <BR>
    The studies highlighted the importance of reading strategies. Eye tracking showed that closely reading important and difficuly parts of a text can leading to better task performance and vocabulary learning. Meanwhile, reading an entire text in the same way (showing a lack of metacognitive competence) may hinder one's reading ability and learning. Learners who use resources such as dictionaries and machine translation do better when they use it strategically.

    During this project, we implemented a new research study designed to measure the effect of training materials on improving the ability of Japanese learners of English to detect, comprehend, and react to how humor is used in English speaking countries. Our research project resulted in significant results and the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator were thus very successful in having research articles and conference proposals accepted. Publications for this project included an edited book (by the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator), four book chapters, and four peer-reviewed journal articles. The PI was also invited to write a series of columns for TESOL International about the theme of the research project. Despite the impact of COVID-19, the PI also delivered more than 20 oral presentations at academic conferences.

    Using an eye tracking system, we have researched how students approach different reading task types of those typically found in textbooks, as well as the type of reading students perform when they are researching topics for the purpose of writing reports. The eye tracking system provides insight into where participants focus their attention and possible words and areas that participants process. In general we found that students with higher ability in English used more and more appropriate strategies in their reading.

    The aim of this research was to help university-level Japanese learners of English improve their understanding of the types of humor used in English-speaking countries and consequently improve their English communication skills and cross-cultural understanding. We focused on two particular types of English humor that are relatively rare in modern Japanese society, satirical news and sarcasm. Both of these types of humor are very common in English-speaking societies, so can cause misunderstandings and confusion for Japanese learners of English. The aim of this research was not to help Japanese learners to produce such humor, but more to detect it and respond appropriately. In order to achieve this aim, we developed a range of humor competency training materials. For both the satirical news training and sarcasm training, students in the experimental groups made significant improvements in their ability to detect the respective type of English humor.

    The project produced some interesting and useful insights into the reading strategy use of Japanese learners of English, although from the start we were limited and disappointed by the performance of the equipment that we were able to purchase with the funding. We were able to publish our results in two respected international journals and presented our findings at domestic and international conferences across a range of academic fields from English Language Teaching to Eye-Movement. Overall we found that in the tasks that we used when conducting experiments, all but the highest ability students failed to read in a strategic manner. This was mainly for tasks to assess selective attention in reading that included reading to write a summary and reading to find specific information within an online text.
