Those accustomed to English actively speak English and take part in activities, but those lacking confidence take a passive stance toward the classes. This caused me to wonder what strategies might be employed to aid those pupils who feel some resistance to foreign language. I belong to my university’s puppet play group and utilize the puppets to foster communication with the pupils. At times, very shy pupil who struggle to converse open up and converse when faced with a puppet. Based on that experience, I formulated the hypothesis that utilizing puppets in an English puppet play would reduce pupil’s resistance to foreign language, foster in them an affinity for it, and yield benefits for the acquisition of the foreign language. I thereby proceeded to undertake this research to test that hypothesis.}, pages = {11--20}, title = {On the Introduction of an English Puppet Play into Foreign Language Activities and Its Effects}, volume = {7}, year = {2017}, yomi = {キノシタ, ヤスノリ} }
