项目摘要

The aims of the research project 'A study of English language teacher education for young learners in Japan' have been: 1) holistic integration of theory and practice in relation to this topic; 2) an examination of expert opinions on the expertise of teachers of young language learners; 3) identification of essential knowledge and skills required of such teachers; and 4) a proposal for a framework to develop teacher training programmes taking into account the needs of different types of trainees. Research activities conducted in the past three years involved: 1) literature surveys to establish a theoretical basis for teacher education for young English learners; 2) two questionnaire surveys involving approximately 400 teachers, both in the state and the private sectors; and 3) examination and analysis of handbooks for English teaching for young learners and of teachers ' manuals for course books. Drawing on the findings of these activities, the research team has proposed a framework to … More develop teacher training programmes and suggested different types of curriculum models. The research has achieved a broader international perspective by looking beyond Japanese state primary schools and by examining English teaching in the private sector as well as early foreign language teaching in other countries. By doing so, it has attempted to present a new paradigm in foreign language teaching for young learners.In addition to the research activities listed above, a colloquium has been held each year, inviting internationally acclaimed researchers and practitioners in the field to discuss topical issues in the area, and an annual research report of approximately 200 pages has been compiled and distributed each year not only to disseminate the research findings but also to enlighten practitioners of English language teaching to children.Through the above activities, it has become evident that this area is badly under-researched and there is an urgent need to accumulate additional data for further improvements of teaching practice. The project activities have also helped establish networks with various organizations and institutions to develop further research. Less

研究项目“日本少年儿童英语教师教育研究”的目的是：1)将这一专题的理论与实践全面结合起来；2)审查关于少年儿童语言学习者教师专长的专家意见；3)确定这类教师所需的基本知识和技能；4)提出一个框架，以制定考虑到不同类型受训人员需求的教师培训计划。在过去三年中开展的研究活动包括：1)文献调查，为青年英语学习者的教师教育奠定理论基础；2)两次问卷调查，涉及约400名国家和私营部门的教师；3)审查和分析青年学习者英语教学手册和教材教师手册。根据这些活动的发现，研究小组向…提出了一个框架更多的是制定教师培训方案，并建议不同类型的课程模式。这项研究不仅着眼于日本公立小学，还通过考察私营部门的英语教学以及其他国家的早期外语教学，获得了更广阔的国际视野。除了上述研究活动外，每年还举办一次研讨会，邀请国际知名的研究人员和实践者讨论该领域的热点问题，每年编写并分发一份约200页的年度研究报告，不仅传播研究成果，还对儿童英语教学实践者进行启发。通过上述活动，可以看出这一领域的研究严重不足，迫切需要积累更多的数据，以便进一步改进教学实践。项目活动还帮助与各种组织和机构建立了网络，以开展进一步的研究。较少
