@article{oai:naruto.repo.nii.ac.jp:00028140, author = {PROWANT, Christopher}, journal = {鳴門教育大学小学校英語教育センター紀要}, month = {Mar}, note = {There are various methods to evaluate the English ability of elementary school and junior high school students, and there has been much discussion about which is the most effective. In 2014, Naruto University of Education's Affiliated Fuzoku Elementary School implemented a new evaluation method known as My Language Passport (MLP). It is now used by the fifth and sixth grade elementary school students and the students at Fuzoku Junior High School. The link between schools, the use by both instructors and students, and the detailed emphasis on Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, and Culture goals make MLP an ideal rubric for evaluating the progress of students. For this study, surveys were conducted with the participation of all current English instructors, as well as former instructors at The Naruto University of Education's Affiliated schools, to reflect on the use of MLP both in and outside the classroom. Surveys showed favorable results in most categories. More than half of participants wrote that the most useful aspect of MLP was that it gave students a clear goal. More than half agreed that the class time spent using MLP was productive. Nearly three-quarters of respondents had an initial interest in MLP, although for roughly half, MLP had little or no effect on the final grades of students.}, pages = {25--36}, title = {My Language Passport : An Evaluation Method for Elementary and Junior High School English Classes with Instructor Feedback}, volume = {9}, year = {2019} }
