Study Abroad Program

This paper describes how I designed and implemented a portfolio project in a short-term study-abroad program at my university in Japan. Sixteen EFL students participated, and of these, none had experience of producing portfolios before the study. I planned the project based on an analysis of the program and students. Central to the portfolio was a reflective report, designed to help the students reflect on what they learned and to set goals based on reflection throughout the program. The students received instructions on how to complete the portfolio in predeparture sessions, continuously worked on their portfolios during the stay abroad, and completed them after they returned to Japan. The examination of submitted portfolios and interviews with the students show that the process of producing the portfolios helped them become autonomous learners and maximize their study abroad experience and opportunities. 本稿では、著者が勤務する大学の短期海外語学研修プログラムに、どのようにポートフォリオを構想し、組み込んだかについて説明する。16名の大学生がプログラムに参加した。参加者は全員、プログラム以前にポートフォリオを作成した経験がなかった。海外での研修内容と参加学生の分析に基づいて、ポートフォリオの構想を立てた。学生は自分の学びをその都度振り返り、それに基づいて目標を立て、それらを振り返り報告書に記入した。この振り返り報告書は、ポートフォリオの中核を担うものである。学生は事前研修でポートフォリオの作成方法を学び、主に研修先で作成に取り組み、事後研修後に完成させた。提出されたポートフォリオと学生へのインタビューから、ポートフォリオを作成することにより、学生がよりよい自律的学習者となり、短期間の海外語学研修を有意義なものにしたと感じていることが分かった。

Study Abroad Program

The purpose of this paper is to describe a short term study abroad program that exposes engineering and nursing undergraduate students from the United States and Italy to an intercultural and interprofessional immersion experience . Faculty fr om Purdue University and Sapienza Università di Roma collaborated to design a technical program that demonstrates the complementary nature of engineering and public health in the service sector, with Rome as an integral component of the program. S pecifically, the intersection of topics including systems, reliability, process flow, maintenance management, and public health are covered through online lectures, in class activities and case study discussions, field experiences, and assessments. Here in, administrat ive issues such as student recruitment, selection, and preparation are elucidated. Additionally, the pedagogical approach used to ensure constructive alignment among the program goals, the intended learning outcomes, and the teaching and learning activitie s is described. Finally, examples of learning outcomes resulting from this alignment are provided.

新型コロナウィルスの感染拡大で人々の国や地域を超えた移動に制限がか かり、海外協定校などに学生を派遣する大学主催の海外留学及び海外研修の 実施は現時点では難しくなっている。このような状況において、オンライン を駆使した海外研修プログラムの開発が進められている。本稿では、2020 年 8 月に実施したブルネイでのオンライン短期海外研修に参加した学生の経 験と学びを考察し、オンラインによる海外留学の可能性を検討する。 本研究のリサーチクエスチョン(RQ)は、(1)オンライン短期海外研修 を通して参加者はどのような経験をしていたのか、(2)オンライン短期海 外研修を通して参加者は英語の能力を伸ばすことができたのか、である。 RQ1 に答えるために研修の事前事後にアンケート調査を、RQ2 に答えるた めに研修の事前事後に英語の試験を行い、それらを分析した。 調査の結果、オンライン短期海外研修の参加者の満足度は高く、講義型及 び体験型の授業を通してブルネイの言語や文化、ビジネスと産業、自然科学 などのコンテンツを学んだり、現地の学生と交流をしたりすることで、参加 者は「自宅にいながら、ブルネイにいるような体験ができ」ていた。また、 本研修が実際に海外に渡航することを躊躇している学生の参加を促している ことも伺えた。そして、研修の事前事後に行った英語の試験を分析した結果、 総合得点及びリスニングでの大意把握の得点は向上し、参加者の英語の能力 の伸びに対する自己評価でも、リスニングの能力の向上が最も認識されてい た。

Smartphone Technology

With smartphone saturation at 100% among Japanese university students, educators are developing new and innovative ways to bring them to the forefront of learning, ensuring students are as engaged with their technology in their formal learning as they are with their informal learning. Smartphones of today are small, portable, have high spec cameras, microphones, and a large storage capacity. These devices also allow for videos to be edited within applications on the smartphone itself, without the need for a separate and expensive computer and editing software. Aspects such as these make using smartphones to make Digital Stories (DS) one possible way to effectively use this technology for formal learning purposes. This paper shows the results of a paper-based survey and discusses preliminary observations conducted with 38 Japanese university students undertaking a short-term study abroad experience in Australia and New Zealand.
