Socio-psychological Analysis of Digital Employment among Japanese English Learners

摘要

Following the positive evaluation of TLT (Testing-Learning-Training) software program using SLA theory (Matsuoka, 2011), the present paper examines the effectiveness of employing this English learning program as a digital pedagogy and aims to explore the ways in which to enhance the learners’ attitudes towards learning English based on the questionnaire data from Japanese college students. The questionnaire items were primarily for investigating the participants’ socio-psychological attitudes towards English learning including a digitally oriented learning system in comparison with analogical and face-to-face interactional approaches.
