To effectively cite external sources, L2 learners must follow the three steps outlined by Zhang (2013): locate the source, connect it to their own ideas, and integrate the citation using their own words. Developing this complex and cognitively demanding skill of citing references requires explicit and step-by-step instruction by the teacher. We implemented this teaching method in class and encouraged active student participation.

Developing L2 (English) writing tasks that allow learners to practice writing with social context

Writing practice done in language classes may lack social context, resulting in little attention to the purpose or audience of writing. Our project aims to develop writing tasks that allow second language (English) learners to practice writing to achieve an objective with good awareness of audience. We have developed a pilot task where learners are asked why to write, how to write, and what to write in a consistent manner so that they may raise their awareness of the social factors involved in writing.

We have conducted a study for developing a Japanese English Writing Tutor training program for 4 years. Our study revealed that tutor's utterances have two features: personal affiliation and completing or amplifying the points. In tutorial training, it is suggested that those utterances by tutors should be considered for establishing a scaffolding approach.

When a particular rubric is shared by different users, understanding and interpretation of the rubric may vary depending on the users, which could lead to reliability or validity problems. One of the solutions is to supplement a rubric with well-articulated interpretations and relevant writing samples. We have conducted the studies to determine such interpretations and writing samples supplementing an original L2 (English) essay/paragraph writing rubric, which the research group have developed for classroom use in Japanese higher education. On the basis of the results, we have prepared the interpretations and writing samples. We have also implemented a teaching plan where students use the rubric for peer assessment as well as self-assessment. The questionnaire to the students showed that the rubric helped them identify aspects needing improvement.

A Study of Written Feedback to Students' Writing in the EFL Classroom

Grant amount：\2470000 （ Direct expense: \1900000 、 Indirect expense：\570000 ）
The study focused on written feedback to students' English texts in an EFL context. We found that both feedback on content and grammar are equally important to EFL students. Our research also revealed that students particularly expected feedback on vocabulary use. EFL teachers' feedback comments were analyzed quantitatively and the results were presented at an international conference, and the results were also published in a refereed journal. Further, a comparison between automated writing evaluation and human evaluation was conducted, with some teaching implications suggested when using an online writing practice tool outside of the classroom. The outcome of the study was presented at another international conference and the paper of the study is currently being reviewed.

The examination and classroom use o f an EFL writing rubric

Grant amount：\2470000 （ Direct expense: \1900000 、 Indirect expense：\570000 ）
We examined an EFL writing rubric, which we developed for Japanese college English education, in terms of reliability and validity. As a result, we confirmed its reliability to some extent, but the validity was weak in a few dimensions. Therefore, we revised the rubric to improve the validity. We also changed the rubric so that it has several defining descriptions under each dimension and no preset scales. It enabled raters to set a score range freely according to the level of subjects. In addition to the use of the rubric for evaluation, we used it as a revision tool in classroom. The students who used it as a revision tool thought it effective in two dimensions :"idea and development"and"organization,"and actually their post-essays improved in the general assessment and assessment in each dimension.
