Speaker

Dr Joseph Wood (Nanzan University)

Description

This presentation examines and compares how two distinct groups of learners in Japan utilize technology for language learning purposes. A total of 42 first-year students at a private university (ages 18 - 19) will be compared and contrasted to 32 adult learners (ages ranging from mid 30s - early 80s) in order to learn how tech-habits impact learners of different ages. The study will discuss data collected from surveys and in-depth interviews with students.
