L2 vocabulary learning with animated aids -Do learner factors affect L2 production with figurative expressions
This study examines the effectiveness of animated aids for the production of English figurative expressions and the influence of learner factors. While previous studies illustrate that motion animations do not always enhance L2 learning, this study suggests that theoretically-grounded animations with learners' individual factors benefit L2 vocabulary learning. With animated aids for three spatial prepositions based on image schema theory and cons…
The spillover effect of direct competition between marketing cooperatives and private intermediaries
Despite the widespread belief that marketing cooperatives’ benefits may extend beyond participating farmers, little is known about the cooperative’s effect on nonparticipating farmers. This paper exploits exogenous variation in language spoken at home in Thailand to obtain instrumental variable estimates of the spillover effect of marketing cooperatives. We hypothesize that farmers who sell rice to private intermediaries in the area where there i…

Applicability of technology-enhanced visual glosses for explicit L2 vocabulary learning
This study examines the efficacy of technology-enhanced visual glosses in explicit L2 vocabulary learning based on the concept of the image schema, which is a mental pattern of our bodily experiences. Although our previous studies could not confirm the advantage of the animated visual glosses for acquiring English prepositions, this study reexamines the learning effect of the animated glosses; we assume that the animation, could enhance learners'…
Prevalence and risk factors of problematic Internet use
The aim of the present study was to compare risk factors for problematic Internet use (PIU) among Japanese and Chinese university students. A sample of 267 Japanese and 236 Chinese first year university students responded to questionnaires on the severity of PIU, depression, self-image/image of others, and perceived parental child-rearing styles. The results indicated that Japanese participants were more likely to demonstrate PIU than their Chine…

Results of chi-square tests showed that the liberal group had higher percentages of students with drinking, smoking, and sexual activity than the conservative group. The liberal group also had …
Graphic Display of Linguistic Information in English as a Foreign Language Reading
Two studies investigated the advantage and instructional effectiveness of the spatial graphic representation of an English sentence with coordinators over a linear sentential representation in English as a foreign language (EFL) reading settings. Experiment 1, Study 1, examined whether readers studying EFL could better comprehend the sentence—in which multiple information items are connected by coordinating conjunctions—when provided with a spati…
Cultural studies in Japan
The field of ‘cultural studies’ has had a major impact in Japan, where many of the seminal English-language texts have been translated and discussed. Even before the Second World War and immediately after, however, Japan had its own intellectual background which set the foundations for this development. This essay looks at that background - through the writings of Tosaka Jun, Nakai Masakazu, Tsurumi Shunsuke and Katô Shûichi. It then examines how…
