Q1. What is your understanding of “Action Research” for language teachers?

  • The action research is one of the means to confirm whether the class is suitable for the student. How the student feels it even if it is seen a good class cannot be confirmed. It is necessary that the teacher choose the method and the teaching material that always suits the sudent. It is the best method to ask the student directly to confirm whether to suit the student. To lead the class in a good direction while always confirming it, it is necessary.

Q2. If you do an “Action Research” by yourself, what research would you like to try?

  • What activity is the student and I want to know whether to work effectively. Especially, I want to examine where to develop one’s faculties as something and a result with the activity to begin to attract saying as doing for the students with a low motivation

Q3. Why?

  • The student with a low motivation has the cause of making it lowered. Is the class does not understand or a method of study or something other? Student’s approach on the class might change if the teacher learns it, and the solution can be shown. It is thought that it is an original purpose of the class improvement. A clear reason cannot be answered though why you hate study of English might be asked to the student sometimes. It wants to look for the cause that the study of English is hated through the action research, and to search for the overcoming method.

Q4. How do you think you will put that action research into practice effectively?

  • I want to make time to look back on per hour and the class on the day. What how you should actually do has not been understood though the student’s reaction has been observed up to now. It can know why the student concretely wants it by making it write on paper. And, it wants to take it new, and to do the class improvement while seeing the reaction.
