Resarch on Foreign Language Teaching in North America

为了提高广岛大学新的外语研究和教育研究所的质量，J.L.和J.Y.于1997年9月对多伦多大学和密歇根州立大学进行了为期两周的实况调查。研究人员对Faculfy成员进行了长达数小时的采访，录制了课程，与研究生和ESL学生交谈，并试图确定广岛大学应该采用这些项目的哪些方面。P.S.和M.Y.访问了加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)和夏威夷大学(UH)，以实现几个目标。总的来说，为了在广岛大学建立一个成功的语言教育和研究中心，研究人员有兴趣了解加州大学洛杉矶分校和密歇根大学是如何在校园内提供外语培训的。具体来说，有六个领域是研究：(1)计划管理，(2)评估和测试，(3)研究，开发和课程，(4)人事，(5)设施运营，和(6)财务。

In order to improve the quality of Hiroshima University's new Institute for Foreign Language Research and Education, J.L.and J.Y.went on a two-week fact-finding mission to the University of Toronto and Michigan State University in September 1997. The researchers conducted many hours of interviews with faculfy members, videotaped lessons, talked to graduate students and ESL students, and tried to ascertain what aspects of those programs should be adopted by Hiroshima University.P.S.& M.Y.visited University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Hawaii (UH) in order to accomplish several goals. In general, to establish a successful language education and research center at Hiroshima University, the researchers were interested in learning about how UCLA and UH provided foreign language training on their campuses. Specifically, six areas were studies : (1) Program management, (2) Evaluation and testing, (3) Research, development, and the curriculum, (4) personnel, (5) Facility operation, and(6) Finances.
