The effect of explicit VLS instruction on the vocabulary learning behaviors of biology majors Reviewed
Kaoru Kobayashi & Andrea Little
OnCUE Journal 11 ( 2 ) 164 - 178 2018.12
Authorship：Lead author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：The Japan Association of Language Teachers College & University Educators Special Interest Group
A previous study on vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) instruction for Japanese life science
majors found that they preferred shallower VLS to those involving deeper processing for
learning general science terminology. It also found that VLS instruction positively affected
the vocabulary learning behaviors of self-management and input-seeking. These findings
supported those of earlier researchers on the value of explicit VLS training for humanities
majors in increasing the use of self-management and input-seeking strategies. The present
study seeks to clarify how explicit VLS instruction of deeper memory strategies can affect
the vocabulary learning behaviors of Japanese biology majors when studying ESP vocabulary.
Pre- and post-instruction surveys were used to measure the change in their vocabulary
learning behaviors. Statistical analyses including split-plot design ANOVA revealed that the
VLS instruction was effective regardless of the students’ vocabulary size in self-management,
input seeking, shallower memory strategies and intrinsic motivation.Other Link： https://jaltcue.org/files/OnCUE/OCJ11.2/OCJ11.2_pp164-178_Kobayashi_Little.pdf

英語で論文を書く際は、英語の論旨展開の法則に従わなければならないが、英語を母語としない学生の間では、このことが理解されていない場合が多く、結果的に意味の通らない論文を作成することにつながっている。本論では、日本語母語話者の学生に英語の論旨展開の法則を教えることを目的として著者が作成した教育用プログラム（HyperCard Stack）を、その背景にある理論と共に紹介している。

The Use of First-Person Pronoun “We” in Science Research Articles International conference
Kaoru Kobayashi, Akiko Hagiwara, Mao Naito, Kenta Arai
JALT2021 International Conference 2021.11 The Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT)
Event date： 2021.11
Language：English Presentation type：Oral presentation (general)
Venue：Online at the Edzil.la JALT2021
In this presentation, how and where the first-person pronoun “we” is used in research articles written in English by authors of different linguistic backgrounds will be discussed. A research article corpus was created to analyze the uses of “we” in different sections of research articles. The meta-textual uses of “we” were also examined using the verbs that collocate with “we.” The results show that “we” is widely used throughout science research articles.

A Comparison of Metadiscourse Markers in Scientific Research Abstracts: An Interlanguage Study International conference

AILA 2021 2021.08 International Association of Applied Linguistics
Event date： 2021.08
Language：English Presentation type：Oral presentation (general)
Venue：Virtual, University of Groningen, Netherlands
We analyzed the use of metadiscourse markers in research abstracts written by Japanese EFL science majors (EFL corpus: 255 abstracts written by upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in life sciences, 46,717 words) in comparison with two referent corpora: 1,900 abstracts written by Japanese scientists (JS corpus: 353,798 words), and 1,900 abstracts written by scientists in English speaking countries (ES corpus: 340,813). We found learners used metadiscourse markers to describe concrete ideas such as the experiment's purpose and procedure, but their use of metadiscourse markers that connect abstract ideas in the introduction as well as in the conclusion was limited.

Venue：Tsukuba International Congress Center (Epochal Tsukuba)
The uses of interactive metadiscourse at the beginning of a sentence in bioscience research article abstracts written in English were compared between NS (English L1) and NNS (Japanese L1) to identify the markers used and the difference between NS and NNS. Data confirmed overall similarity between the two groups with some characteristics among NNS that can be attributed to grammatical factors and writers' familiarity with the markers.
