- Lexical knowledge required for the TOEFL iBT: Vocabulary size and connected speech [Invited]2015年度 英語・英米文学会講演会 2015/11 弘前学院大学 英語・英米文学会
The main aim of the presentation is vocabulary knowledge required for the TOEFL Internet-based test. In the first part of this presentation, I will cover vocabulary size targets for the TOEFL test and then talk about which wordlists are found to be helpful to test takers. In the latter part, I will discuss connected speech, which is of value to those who can comprehend what English-speaking teachers say at class but have difficulty in identifying what the English-speaking teachers say in an informal setting. Connected speech is also crucial in listening to American English movies such as Frozen and Big Hero 6. - Lexical Size Targets for the Reading and Listening Sections of the TOEFL Internet-Based Test [Not invited]The JACET 54th International Convention 2015/08 Invited oral presentation Kagoshima, Japan

Research Grants & Projects
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific ResearchDate (from‐to) : 2018/04 -2022/03Author : Yamaguchi TakaneThe objective was to develop a system in which learners were asked to read a passage and then answer questions about the passage, and to measure not only the data of their responses, but also the time spent reading the passage and the time required to answer the questions. After the development of the system, Professor Eiichi Yufune, a co-researcher, was involved in the development of a web-based e-learning system for listening and reading, "TOEIC Official e-Learning Basic L&R". The relationship between English reading comprehension and reading speed of learners using this system was investigated. It was confirmed that learners who received oral reading instruction increased their reading speed after about three months of working with this e-learning system.
