  • Faster L2 sentence reading times, better L2 listening proficiency: a preliminary study of automaticity in L2 sentence processing               
    Satoru Yokoyama
    University Bulletin of Chiba Institute of Science, Volume:10, Number:10, First page:1, Last page:5, 2017
    Processing speed in a second language (L2) is considered an important characteristic of L2 profi ciencylevel assessment. However, all characteristics of processing speed in L2 learning remain unclear. The currentstudy demonstrates that L2 listening proficiency is more associated with processing speed than L2reading profi ciency. In this study, participants were asked to take an L2 profi ciency test consisting of listeningand reading sections, and to perform an L2 sentence comprehension task that measured the speed ofsentence and word processing in the L2. The result indicates that speed of L2 sentence comprehension correlateswith L2 listening profi ciency level, whereas all other results showed no statistical signifi cance. Thisfi nding supports the assumption that the speed of L2 sentence reading refl ects the speed of the real-timesentence comprehension performance that is required in L2 listening performance.

  • Effect of English remedial courses based on Generation effect and Testing effect in college education : an analysis based on Item Response Theory

    学習心理学、認知心理学、認知神経科学などの分野において、人間の記憶・学習への促進効果が見られるとされる、Generation effectとTesting effectという現象がある。本論文では、実際の大学英語教育の場において、特に英語能力が低い学習者層に対し、この二つの現象を援用した訓練を半年間週一回の補講において導入し、その効果が見られるか否かを検証した。方法として、補講を行った学習者群に対し、Generation effect/Testing effectに基づいて、通常講義で用いているテキスト内に提示された例文の和文英訳問題を繰り返し解かせる形式とした。本研究の解析では、講義開始前に行った簡易placement testのスコアと定期試験のスコアを項目反応理論により解析した後、補講を行った群(71名)と補講対象にならなかった群の中でplacement testが低かった学習者群(71名)とでスコアの群間比較を行った。その結果、講義前のplacement testから講義後の定期試験のスコアにおいて、補講受講群・非受講統制群ともに有意にスコア上での改善は見られたものの、群間でのスコアの改善度に有意な差は見られなかった。よって、講義自体の英語力向上効果はあったものの、半年間の補講による英語力の改善効果は見られなかった。本結果となった理由はいくつか考えられるが、講義ではe-learningを用いた適切なフィードバックが学習効果を促進させた可能性がある一方、補講では紙面による課題であったため、個別の学生へのフィードバックが機能し切れなかった可能性がある。この結果に基づき、補講の効果を上げる方法を改めて検討していく必要がある。

  • An analysis of English proficiency of college students based on longitudinal data classified by enrollment types

    近年、学科試験を受けない形で大学に入学させる、アドミッションオフィス入学試験(AO入試)方式や推薦入試などによる入学者選抜方式の利用が増加している。主に高校における成績、各種部活動や委員会などの活動実績、志望理由、面接、小論文などにより、入学希望者を多角的に評価し、入学者を選抜する方法である。しかし、中央教育審議会の場などにおいて、これらのAO入試や推薦入試が大学生の基礎学力低下を引き起こしている可能性がある、と危惧する声も上がっている。このような状況に対し、本論文では、中学・高校・大学において必修科目とされている英語科目の成績を指標とし、入学試験の方式により分類した初年次学生の英語に関するテスト結果のうち、初年次前期の講義開始前に行った英語科目のプレースメントテスト、及び初年次前期の英語科目にて全学的に行った共通定期試験のスコアを項目反応理論による解析を通じて、入学試験区分によって実際の大学入学者の学力差が見られるのかを検証した。結果として、プレースメントテスト、定期試験ともに、AO入試の区分の学生のスコア平均は低く、学科試験を課す入試区分の学生のスコア平均が高かった。一方、学校法人内での特待生推薦入試の区分の学生はスコア平均が高く、一般入試やセンター試験など実質的に学科試験がある入学区分と同等の学力を持っていた。特待生推薦入試の区分では、全ての学生が特待生になるわけではないが、特待生の枠での採用が設定されていることから、学費の減免を目的として、優秀な学生が受験してきている可能性が示唆される。以上より、AO入試・推薦入試の区分が全て学力不足である、という短絡的な一般化には至らないことが確認され、特待生枠などの設定により、学科試験が課されずとも学力が高い学生を確保する方法がある可能性が示された。

    日本では、大学の基礎教育として英語教育が重視されている。一方で、実証的・客観的に大学英語教育を評価・検討した結果を論文の形として公開している研究者は少ない。本論文では大学における初年次英語教育の効果につき、講義内で行われた習熟度テストによる英語能力の評価に加え、講義内容の評価に関する複数のアンケートによるデータ分析を通じ、より多角的に大学英語教育の効果を検証することを目的とした。その結果、半期での英語教育において着実な教育効果が見られ、さらには学生の英語に対する興味・自信が、より英語教育の効果を高めることが確認された。これらの結果は、一般的なモチベーション理論における知見とも一致するものであった。本論文でのデータはまだ基礎的な段階ではあるが、改めて学習内容への興味や自信が学習効果に影響を及ぼすことが確認されたことにより、大学英語教育において学生に英語学習への興味及び自信を持たせるかという観点を採り入れることがいかに重要であるか、ということを再確認することができた。

    Processing speed can be considered as one aspect of proficiency of foreign language. In this study, we measured processing speed of English sentence comprehension by Japanese learners, and examined the relationship between their speed and their proficiency level of English. To this end, we used self-paced reading task of English sentences and Minimal English Test (MET) as an English proficiency test. In this paper, we report the preliminary results.

    Brain changes morphologically and functionally as one grows. However, it is unclear how the change of functional brain activation during sentence comprehension occurs on development. We measured functional brain images during sentence comprehension tasks of 114 juveniles from six to eighteen years old (62 girls and 52 boys) by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We found that the brain activation of several right hemispheric brain regions negatively correlates with age for only boys. Also, the developmental change occurs linearly.

    So far, in order to assess learner's foreign language proficiency, the output result after language processing from learners has been used. The current research aims at developing assessment system of foreign language proficiency by using brain response during language tests. In this paper, we report the results investigating whether the brain response data can predict learners' behavioral performance of language tests.

    The aim of this study was to clarify the neural mechanism of information retrieval (IR) related to human sentence comprehension using fMRI. Two sets of letters, words, or sentences were presented visually. In a letter or word condition, letters or a word were presented after the presentation of two sets of stimuli, and subjects were asked to judge whether presented letters or word were included in former or latter set. In a sentences condition, participants were asked to read ill-formed coordination sentences and asked to judge which conjunct included inappropriate constituent. The results ...

  • Neuronal relationship among sub-processes on sentence comprehension in the human brain

    Technical report of IEICE. Thought and language, Volume:108, Number:184, First page:5, Last page:10, Aug. 2008
    In order to comprehend a sentence, we need several sub-processes. For example, it is necessary to store phonological information tentatively to recognize a word from phonological input. Similarly, it is also necessary to store lexico-semantic information of words to compute a sentence-structure from these words. In this paper, we discuss how sub-processes for sentence comprehension interact with each other based on effective connectivity data of fMRI.

  • Assessment of Language Proficiency in Foreign Language Learning based on Functional Brain Imaging Data

    Technical report of IEICE. Thought and language, Volume:107, Number:323, First page:37, Last page:40, Nov. 2007
    In this paper, we propose that functional brain imaging data can be applied to the assessment of language proficiency in foreign language learning. Functional brain imaging techniques can visualize how the human brain works during a cognitive task. Hence, by using such functional brain imaging data, we can assess whether a learner can properly comprehend a foreign language. Furthermore, such a database may enable us to apply the assessment of whether a new language education method has effective or not.

    To examine whether the human beings are endowed with a specific neural substrate for sentence processing separable from working memory system, we compared brain activities for sentence processing with those for a manipulation process of stored information in working memory. Twenty right-handed Japanese native speakers performed reordering tasks with both sentence processing and manipulation process conditions. Based on our main finding that there was no significant difference in brain activation between these two processes, we concluded that it is the working memory system itself that engages sentence processing in the human brain.

    A numeral quantifier in Japanese consists of a numeral and a classifier that agrees with the type of entity being counted. In this study we investigated, using event-related potentials, brain activities associated with the integration of a numeral classifier and a noun that denotes an entity⁄entities being counted.
    Based on previous studies, we considered two hypotheses. If semantic processes are crucially involved in the integration of a noun and a numeral classifier, like selectional restriction between a verb and its object, N400 would be found when subjects read incorrect pairs of a noun and a numeral classifier. On the other hand, if the integration of a noun and a numeral classifier is morpho-syntactic in nature, parallel to gender agreement in European languages, then LAN would be elicited.
    Results of our experiment showed that mismatch of a noun and a numeral classifier evoked N400. This suggests that a numeral classifier in Japanese semantically selects a noun denoting a certain type of entity.

    Numeral classifiers (e.g. -hiki, -hon) are the suffixes used with numbers, which we usually use to count certain objects. The nouns choose what type of specific numeral classifiers should associate with them. The purpose of this study is to reveal, by using ERPs, what kind of brain activities are taking place when Japanese native speakers integrate nouns and numeral classifiers. Results of our experiment showed that mismatch of a noun and a numeral classifier evoked N400.

    We carried out an fMRI study to investigate whether the same brain regions are involved in processing first and second languages. Twenty-eight right-handed native speakers of Japanese participated in this study. Subjects were instructed to read active and passive sentences in Japanese and English and to judge the plausibility of the sentence. As a result, we found that both similarites and differences between Japanese and English in terms of the regions involved in the processing of passive sentences. These results suggest that the processing of a second language exhibits both similarities ...

    The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship among foreign language proficiency level, language processing indices, and brain activity. This study revealed that there is no strong relationship between proficiency level and processing speed, but the processing speed of the foreign sentence comprehension correlates with that of the first language sentence comprehension. Regarding the relationship between foreign sentence comprehension speed can be estimated by the brain activity data.

    The aim of current study was to clarify correct wrong linguistic information especially slip of tongue and re-comprehend it smoothly. Correction of wrong information is thought to be an essential function during communication. In this study, psychological and fMRI experiments were conducted to reveal the correct function. These results indicates that correction and short-term memory or working memory mutually works during real-time language processing.

    The current study examined whether there is a statistical relationship between foreign language processing speed and its proficiency level, and between foreign language processing speed and its brain activity. The psycho-physiological experiment showed that there is no clear relationship between foreign language processing speed and its proficiency level by using self-paced reading task, but the fMRI experiment showed that brain activation data can statistically predict foreign language processing speed.

    The current research analyzed the relationship between L2 proficiency and the speed of vocabulary processing. An MEG date has still being analyzed and the results indicate that advanced learners are faster at lexical processing than beginners, and that beginners utilize broader areas of the brain in semantic processing. In addition, an effect of extensive reading on vocabulary processing and on reading speed has been researched, and it was found that extensive reading enhances not only reading proficiency but also listening proficiency.

    We have established a method to build up a corpus (treebank) which has sufficient information to automatically obtain semantic representations with syntactic annotations from diverse linguistic texts in Modern Japanese. Following the method we have established, we have annotated more than 10,000 sentences. In particular, we have solved problems concerning syntactic annotation, i.e., collocations which function as single P's, collocations functioning as modal auxiliaries, and null elements.

    This study examined whether second language (L2) speech proficiency measures might have corresponding biological bases. The participants were 55 Japanese university students with Japanese as first language (L1) and English as L2. They described pictures, using L1 and L2 (in different sessions), while fMRI brain scans were taken. The results indicate that L2 speech production requires more brain resources compared to L1 speech production. Preliminary data analyses also provide evidence that L2 proficiency indices are linked to variations in brain activity. Complexity in L2 speech (production of more elaborate utterances) was related to activation in the left hemisphere around Broca's area, while lack of fluency (high use of filled pauses in speech) and use of unfamiliar words in the L2 were both linked to some activation in the anterior part of Wernicke's area. These findings could help in the development of more efficacious instructional strategies for promoting L2 speech acquisition.

    We have developed a syntactico-semantic system that is capable of analyzing the majority of basic japanese sentences, using Scope Control Theory, a semantic framework that gives an account of how sentences are formed based on the interpretability of sentences. We have built up a protoyype of Japanese Treebank in order to evaluate the obtained results. Furthermore, we hacve proposed a neuro-cognitive sentence processing model which fits in with the data obtained from neuro-image experiments.

    The current research tried to answer the question whether beginners understand English words through Japanese and whether they will be able to process English words directly in English as their level increase. Experiments were conducted in order to observe the process of L2 vocabulary processing in our brain with MEG (magnetoencephalography). The results indicate that advanced learners are faster at lexical processing than beginners, and that beginners utilize broader areas of the brain in semantic processing.

    To understand the nature of Japanese language processing, this research project based on neuroimaging techniques examined lexical, morphological, sentential, and pragmatic aspects of the language. The Japanese language processing was also examined by contrasting the performance of native speakers with that of non-native speakers. These fMRI studies were able to demonstrate that some aspects of the Japanese language processing is unique、while some others are universal in nature. In addition, we conducted basic neurological studies in which we proposed a new methodology for simultaneous recording of EEG and fMRI and provided a new insight for better understanding of EEG source localization.
