项目摘要

This investigation aims at developing educational materials for science and technology students. The targeted skills were presentation skills, which are language skills of written, oral, audiovisual, and graphic modes. Investigators started the project through a four different surveys. Survey on commercially available current textbooks reveals that many homegrown textbooks targeted the reading and translation skills, showing lack of variety. Survey on Indian colleges reveals that objective science experimental work improves language skills of the students, easing the load of language learning. Indian practical handbooks voluntarily offer hints on teaching English for Science and Technology. Investigators have showed that methodologies for developing textbooks. Two of them are conversion of experimental procedure to a pattern practice drill and utilization of lexicostatistics in material development. As a part of discourse analysis, the investigators carried out a survey on presentation styles of both Japanese students and non-Japanese exchange students in Japan, and found that Japanese students especially face difficulties in verbalizing data, hence, they tend to give the presentation as it is in written form. Investigators have collected important discourse markers and pointers from the presentations of non-Japanese exchange students and they have been used to develop slide-verbalizing exercise, in order to teach the presentation techniques. Finally, investigators have proposed a "presentation template," in which students can effectively learn presentation techniques, while reducing the workload of instructors. A textbook "Elements of English for Science and Technology" will be published in due course.

本次调查的目的是为理工科学生编写教材。目标技能是表达技能，即书面、口头、视听和图形模式的语言技能。调查人员通过四项不同的调查开始了这个项目。对市面上现有教材的调查显示，许多国产教材以阅读和翻译技能为目标，缺乏多样性。对印度高校的调查表明，客观科学实验工作提高了学生的语言技能，减轻了语言学习的负担。印度实用手册主动提供科技英语教学的提示。研究人员已经展示了开发教科书的方法。其中两个是实验程序向模式练习的转化和词汇统计学在材料开发中的应用。作为语篇分析的一部分，研究者对日本交换生和非日本交换生的演讲风格进行了调查，发现日本学生在用语言表达数据方面尤其困难，因此他们倾向于以书面形式进行演讲。研究者从非日籍交换生的演讲中收集了重要的话语标记和指针，并将其用于开发幻灯片语言表达练习，以教授演讲技巧。最后，研究人员提出了一个“演示模板”，学生可以有效地学习演示技巧，同时减少教师的工作量。《科技英语基础》教材将适时出版。
