Using ALC Press Inc.'s NetAcademy Next as the Main Resource in Lower-Level University English CALL Classes in Japan: A Case Study
Stewart, Glen Andrew
JALT CALL Journal, v15 n1 p19-41 2019
In this article, the results of a case study are reported. The focus was on the development and implementation of a "regular class" format (a standard lesson plan) for teachers of lower-level English learners whose English CALL courses incorporate ALC Press Inc.'s NetAcademy Next as the main resource. The relevant literature was firstly drawn upon to determine what a class for lower-level English learners should aim to provide (including chunk-based reading, reading aloud, repetition, etc.). The "regular class" format and a handout template to complement it were then created. Both were then implemented in the researcher's Spring, 2018 CALL classes and feedback sought from ninety-four learners.
