◆18：50～19：15 ABE Akio
Doctoral Program, Graduate School, University of Nevada, Reno （Research Paper）
“Classroom Practices Integrating CLIL and COIL: Fostering Audience Awareness in Fifth Graders’ Language Learning”（English）
This presentation introduces a classroom practice conducted in the 2023 academic year, in which fifth-grade students engaged in an English unit involving online exchanges with peers from another prefecture. The project was designed within the frameworks of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), aiming to promote meaningful communication and language use through the theme of regional introductions. In preparation for writing my doctoral dissertation, I am currently deepening my understanding of relevant theoretical frameworks and exploring appropriate methods for data analysis. I would greatly appreciate your feedback and insights to further develop this study into a more educationally impactful piece of research.

“Exploring the Role of Pronunciation Instruction in CLIL: Enhancing Comprehensibility through Argumentative Tasks”（English）
With 21 years of experience as a high school teacher, I completed my Master’s degree in Linguistics at Lancaster University in 2018. I am currently enrolled in the doctoral program at Waseda University’s Graduate School of Education, where my primary research focuses on integrating CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) with pronunciation instruction through task-based activities using parliamentary debate.
