INTENSIVE ENGLISH LISTENING PRACTICE FOR JAPANESE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ENGLISH SOUNDS AND RHYTHMS

application/pdfThe purposes of this paper are to identify what English listening problems that Japanese high school students of English at the beginner level have and to explore the effective ways of teaching English listening in class. According to the survey conducted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (2015), listening skills that Japanese high school students obtain have not achieved their goal. Therefore, English language teachers are required to foster their students’ listening skills. In Chapter 1, previous research into English listening problems are discussed. In bottom-up processes, lack of phonological knowledge and skills to decode speech quickly is considered to cause problems inherent to listening. In addition, it is assumed that learners’ first language influences their second language listening comprehension. Furthermore, instructions in teaching listening proposed by previous research are also discussed. In Chapter 2, three hypotheses are examined in high school English classes. The findings give us several suggestions. Firstly, slow speech rates did not promote the subjects’ perceptions of target sentences when they did not have sufficient knowledge of the sentences that they heard. An exception was observed in listening to a long sentence. Secondly, comparing listening to two kinds of English sentences with the mora in Japanese and English rhythm, there was no difference in the subjects’ performance between the two cases. These findings imply that lack of linguistic knowledge and its automatic use causes listening problems for beginners under the influence of their working memory capacity. Finally, the proposed intensive listening practice of English sounds and rhythms improved the subjects’ performance significantly between pre-and post-tests. However, the effectiveness of the listening practice for a long term is not clear. In addition, it is not obvious either how students come to perceive English sounds and rhythms through listening practice. Further study is required to solve these problems.The Faculty of the Department of English Mie University91pthesi

Oral enzyme therapy prevents clinical relapse but increases plasma AGA and anti-TG2 IgG in gluten-sensitive rhesus macaque FH45.

<p>Gluten-sensitive FH45 (A-C) and control FI96 (D-F) were switched from a gluten-containing to a gluten-free diet at week 0, re-challenged with the gluten-containing diet from week 10.4 to 11.4, and then returned to a gluten-free diet for the remainder of the experiment. During week 22.9-30.9, the gluten-free diet was supplemented with a daily slice of wheat bread. FH45 additionally received a daily dose of EP-B2 glutenase during the first half of this period (week 22.9-26.9). Clinical scores (A,D), anti-gliadin antibodies (B,E), and anti-TG2 antibodies (C,F) were monitored over the course of the experiment. Levels of IgG (blue; open circles) and IgA (red; open squares) antibodies are provided on the left and right ordinates, respectively. Clinical score criteria are described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0001857#s2" target="_blank">Methods</a>.</p

Intact absorption of an oral gluten peptide in gluten-sensitive rhesus macaque FH09 but not in healthy control FR26.

<p>Plasma samples collected at indicated timepoints following intragastric administration of ^D933-mer to FH09 (with active enteropathy) and FR26 were analyzed by 3Q LC-MS/MS. Plasma concentrations of ^D933-mer were determined by comparison to an unlabeled 33-mer internal standard. Mean±SD displayed from at least 3 injections. *P<0.05, ****P<0.00005.</p

Detection of an oral gluten peptide in the peripheral plasma of gluten-sensitive rhesus macaque FH09 during remission.

<p>Plasma samples collected at indicated timepoints following intragastric administration of ^D333-mer to FH09 (in remission) were analyzed by 3Q LC-MS/MS, monitoring for the <i>m/z</i> 979.5⁴⁺→263.4⁺ transition in the positive ion SRM mode. Peak intensities are scaled relative to the highest peak in each chromatogram. Absolute intensities are indicated to the right of the ordinate axis. A ^D333-mer peptide reference exhibits the same retention time and ion transitions as the peptide detected in the 180 min plasma sample.</p

Triple-label confocal microscopy of CCL4+ cells in mesenteric lymph nodes obtained from control (PID 0) and SHIV_SF162P4-inoculated macaques at PID 14.

<p>T lymphocytes (CD3+) are red, CCL4+ cells are green, SHIV_SF162P4-infected cells (p28+) are blue. Overlap of red and green fluorescence is seen as yellow, overlap of red and blue as pink. Higher number of CD3+CCL4+ cells was seen at PID 0 than at PID 14 (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0000726#pone-0000726-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>) while CD3+p28+ cells could be seen at PID 14 but not at PID 0 indicating the successful spread of virus into GALTs following mucosal inoculation.</p

Comparison of SHIV_SF162P4and SHIV_Ku1 primary infection in peripheral blood.

<p>Viral loads in plasma (A), CD4+ T cell counts (B), Fold-changes of CCL3, CCL4 and CCL5 gene expression levels in SHIV_SF162P4- and SHIV_Ku1–infected macaques at PID 0 vs. PID 14 (C) (n = 5 for each group). Negative sample cut-off for viral load measurements in plasma was <30 copies/ml e.g. PID 0 value.</p
