You could perhaps analyze JHS students’ “because” errors. You could also analyze students’ lexical errors or semantic errors.

Do you have any hypothesis for errors in which 9th-grade students occur?
I think they are on the way to learning English, so there are some differences with adults.

Will you control for different students’ English language ability? For example, low level students will probably have more errors than high level students, and the type of mistakes will probably be different too. Very interesting research.

I think the 10 points of Extensive reading make it sound very appealing. I would like the opportunity to relax and read an easy and pleasant book in the L2 during class!

Why does Japanese people make mistake “because” a lot?

This is a comment from a different view.
I found that you are interested in phonemic awareness, but these papers which discuss the importance of handwriting will be helpful to you.

I worried about how should explain the literature review briefly and I thought about “Keys of my Literature Review” a lot so, I am happy to hear such a word from you! Thank you. I will keep going.

Maki, very interesting and very important research. Students with dyslexia need a more focused teaching approach. I think your research can help develop such an approach.

Thank you for hearing my presentation and giving a comment and a question during question time!
I would like to teach English using the result of my research. I will do my best.

  • I did not know the difference between self-esteem and self-affirmation, it was interesting to hear it!
  • I did not quite understand the “bad points” of self-esteem and self-affirmation. Please explain it to me later.
  • How are you going to research “factors and methods to increase self affirmation?” This is one of the most important parts of your research!

Nao, very interesting research. To increase students’ self-esteem in English class, will you research the type of activities that can increase self esteem ? For example, pair work, group and individual presentations, etc.

For me, your research might be similar to the concept of “positive communication”.
This is the note I took in a presentation. It might be good to look up some papers online (because you can’t use my note as a reference!)

  1. In your final presentation, you might have to confirm the meaning of “lexis” some students might not understand it.
  2. You might also have to explain what “using context” means.
  3. It is good that at this stage you have collected so much data,

You do a good job of showing the necessity of your research:

  • low percentage of English classes use ICT.
  • Speaking is the most challenging skill for Japanese learners

I am looking forward to more of your results. In the discussion section, maybe you can add a section about some potentially effective ways to use FligGrid in the class.

  • Up until now, I don’t think we have had a thesis covering autism so this is an original and important topic.
  • I think the argument that students might find it easier to communicate some things in English was very interesting.
  • I look forward to hearing the results of your questionnaires!

I thought that you summarized the different kinds of motivation theory very well. Also, you have found some very useful studies about the effect cram school has on motivation. I look forward to knowing what you learn from your questionnaire.

I didn’t know about UDL so I’m interested in your research.
I think UDL is useful for not only dyslexia students but also other students:)

You provided good examples of the steps of motivation(?). I can understand what they mean.

  • Is autonomous motivation the same as 主体性?
  • I think that this research is relevant to English education in Japan, because 主体的な学び is part of the Course of Study. Maybe you should mention this in your literature review!

By understanding the pros and the cons of CLIC, we can choose better way of teaching depends on the situation or students. I hope CLIL is introduced in Japan.

  • I thought that your explanation of CLIL was very clear.
  • I would like to know real examples of the different variations of CLIL that you showed in Section 4.
  • In your research plan, I would like to know what you mean by “practical examples”.

  • I really wonder how things like speaking are practiced with hearing impaired students.
  • It might be too late, but it might also be good to ask hearing-impaired students what they understand/ find easy in English class.
  • I would like to see the questionnaire you will give to students.

This is interesting research, and it will share schools their techniques which each school has done by themselves.
I know it’s too late to say, but the techniques gathered from the survey should be generalized before making an effective lesson plan. If you have time, classifying the techniques will give us good clues to teach for hearing-impaired students.

Your theme is very interesting for me too.
As you said in your presentation, effective teaching method for hearing-impaired students is also very useful for all students. I look forward to know a result of your research!

I think that CLIL is interesting and helpful but also hard to do in any levels of school.
Although, I want you to become a super teacher that do every subjects classes in English!

Moreover, I think that you should establish a standard when you use a graph.
For example, when people learns English to become an English teacher, it is equivalent to 80 points(〇〇motivation) in the graph.

As you said, the beginning age in Japan and Finland is different. In my opinion, it might be good if the textbooks are chosen from the view of the English-learning stage rather than actual age (e.g. Let’s try 3 from Japan and a textbook for 1st graders in Finland)

I have a little question. In your research, what do you mean by “cram schools”?
I wonder that it means only Juku likeトライ or including Eikaiwa school like ECC junior.

I have ever tried extensive reading.
Therefore I can’t imagine that teacher incorporate it in English classes, so I look forward to your research result!

About analysis,
in simple words, KH Coder just counts the words which appear in the texts.
I’d like you to focus on experiences by classifying their experiences.
(It might be difficult…)

I didn’t know extensive reading is effective other skills. I think to improve students’ autonomy can connect their high motivations.

I know UD but I had not known “UDL”, so I think your focus is important.
I had been thought it is difficult to conduct questionnaires for teachers because it is hard to find teachers who cooperate with our research. However, you said that you can find 5 teachers who are helping your research. It is good. I am looking forward to hearing the result of your research and discussion.

Thank you for your interesting presentation!
In my research, I found that sounds are very important for language learners, so your research for hearing impaired students is really interesting for me!
The research may be hard because it will be necessary to spend a lot of time. However, I am looking forward to hearing your result and discussion.
