教養英語授業における英作文指導についての一考察

概要

論文の詳細を見る
This paper attempts to analize 38 essays, composed by college students. The objective lies in the investigation of specific usage patterns of verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs and conjunction within these essays. We compare and contrast the word contents of the sample essays with the Basic English 850 words list, provided by C. Ogden. Throughout the observations, commonly used words were found to be quite similar to the Ogden Word List. Similarly, frequent usage of simple idioms, routin esentences and stereotype expressions were observed. Furthermore, the intermixture within an essay of both colloquial and literary English terms were articulate. The student's inability to distinguish between the two seemed to create such inadequecies in their writing skills. This can be assumed as a result of the ambiguities of standards which rooted within the English teaching methodology in Japan.
