The English Workshop classes were added to the English curriculum to supplement the compulsory, standard skills-based English classes. In principle, English Workshop classes are envisioned to have a content or thematic base, and culminate with some form of project work. In this particular English Workshop class, the culminating project was for students to produce a graded reader of 700 words based on an academic article for intensive reading. As the number of participants was small, qualitative research methods were utilised. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview with the participants, conducted upon completion of the course of study. This data was subjected to thematic analysis with the aid of NVivo software. According to the data, the students felt there was a significant difference between the English Workshop class and other English classes that they had taken at the university. They felt that overall, the class required a lot more time, effort and engagement on their behalf, both in an out of the classroom. From their responses, it could also be concluded that they felt their English ability had improved as a result both of the challenging nature of the class, which focused on fostering syntactic processing ability, and of the combination of input and output-based activities. Furthermore, as they were actively involved with the production of authentic reading materials, their sense of personal involvement and awareness of the process of second language acquisition also increased. Besides reported benefits in language learning, students also asserted that the aspects of working cooperatively and solving problems necessary for the successful completion of the assigned tasks were valid learning experiences. Finally, the fact that their graded readers would be published online led to a sense of responsibility to ensure that they could produce a final project in which they could feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.}, pages = {69--105}, title = {大学英語教育における「ワークショップ」型科目での学習者の学び}, year = {2019}, yomi = {ツリイ, チエ and ワーグナー, エイドリアン} }
