摘要

信息通信技术(ICT)的有效利用对学习者英语能力的发展具有积极的作用。有效的程度部分取决于学习者使用信息通信技术的特点。然而,这些特点在日本还没有得到充分的讨论。然后,本研究探讨了日本英语大学生的特点与他们实际使用在线英语课程的关系,以及它是否导致了他们英语能力的发展。在这项调查中,130名日本大学生被要求自我评价他们对计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)和在课堂外使用技术的态度。结果,很明显,大多数学生对使用这项技术没有信心,也没有在课堂外积极使用它。聚类分析侧重于个体差异,揭示学生实际花在课程上的时间和他们对CALL有效性的高评价不一定能预测英语能力的发展。建议在高等教育机构有效采用在线英语课程时应仔细考虑个体差异。

Effects of Japanese University Students’ Characteristics on the Use of an Online English Course and TOEIC Scores
The effective use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can have positive effects on the development of learners’ English abilities. To what degree it is effective is partly determined by learners’ characteristics in ICT use. However, these characteristics have not yet been sufficiently discussed in Japan. This study, then, explored how the characteristics of Japanese EFL university students related to their actual use of an online English course and whether it led to the development of their English abilities. In the survey, 130 Japanese university students were asked to self-evaluate their attitudes toward computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and the use of technology in an out-of-classroom situation. As a result, it became clear that most of the students were not confident in using the technology and did not use it actively outside the classroom. Cluster analysis was employed with a focus on individual differences, revealing that the time students actually spent on the course and their high evaluations of the effectiveness of CALL did not necessarily predict development of English abilities. It was suggested that individual differences should be carefully considered in adopting online English courses effectively in higher education institutions.
