On the other hand, more research will be required to gain a better understanding of the “process” of learners’ internal changes during a study abroad program. The present study focuses on a five-month study abroad program for English majors at a women’s university in Japan. A total of more than 100 participants studied at two universities in California, USA, in the same period and were required to write a personal digital report every week. In order to avoid compiling a subjective collection of learners’ monologues or presenting a mere overall tendency that masks individual learners’ variation, the data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Integrating the two research methodologies is crucial in illustrating learners’ changing perspectives of learning English and adjusting to American culture. In the article, learners’ changing processes during a study abroad program will be reported by making comparisons of the data obtained at the two campuses and at different times, along with some illustrative individual cases.}, pages = {43--54}, title = {留学での経験を可視化するための量的・質的分析を用いた基礎的研究}, year = {2020}, yomi = {ヤマカワ, ケンイチ} }
