Implementation Report (Active Learning for Faculty Members in 2014)
English Skill Improvement Training "Active Learning in the Classroom"
On July 26, we welcomed Ms. Mikako Nishikawa, Advisor of the Japan English Language Proficiency Association, as a lecturer and held an English skill improvement training "Active Learning in the Classroom" for teachers from member universities.
This training was planned as part of the "English Skill Improvement Training for University Faculty Members" that has been conducted by the Consortium Kyoto since fiscal 2013, and was held for faculty members with a focus on "classes" and was attended by 11 people from five universities.
In the training, following the icebreaker, active learning (active learning is "active learning", which is not a lecture style in which the instructor transfers knowledge unilaterally, but subject research, PBL (project/problem based learning), discussions, presentations, etc. It refers to a class format that incorporates active learning), and learned phrases that are often used in English classes. There are various expressions such as directives used in classes and phrases that are useful when introducing active learning, and it was suggested that the participating faculty members choose and use expressions that can be used more naturally in the class.
Next, while experiencing group discussion and workshop methods, the participants shared examples of measures for designing effective discussions and effective feedback and evaluation methods in classes using active learning, and presented group presentations as a result.
In this training, he also talked about issues such as the difficulty of deriving common effective measures because the daily management situation differs depending on the field of specialization and class size, and how to increase the motivation of Japan students who are not accustomed to presenting in front of people since childhood. However, despite the long workshop, all participants were very active in the training, exchanging information on ideas in classes across disciplines and considering specific ways to improve classes through discussions.
This was the first time for the University Consortium Kyoto to conduct English skill improvement training for teachers only, but we would like to continue to provide training programs with high needs while taking into account the opinions and requests of participants.
