Description

This presentation replicated Fujii's 2023 study, which examines how English learning objectives and specific strategies for achieving them differ depending on the levels of Willingness to Communicate in a Japanese EFL context. Using the original study methods, we assessed whether her 2023 findings applied to our first-year science-related majors. Our study also explored that recognizing and addressing these different goals could improve instructional strategies in the classroom.

Using the original study methods, we assessed if her 2023 findings held true for our first-year science majors. Our study also considered how effectively recognizing and addressing these varying goals could enhance instructional strategies in the classroom.
