概要 The main goal of this study was to ascertain if a blended learning (BL) environment incorporating m-learning could help to improve the English listening, oral communication, and presentation skills of native Japanese undergraduates. The BL activities included having students watch on-line Coursera lectures using personal computers and mobile devices, as well as present oral summaries of the lectures they listened to both face to face and in front of the class. The students were required to spend a significant amount of time watching several on-line Coursera lectures during their commuting hours and then to write a 400 word lecture summary of each lecture they watched. An assessment of pre- and post-training TOEIC scores revealed that the students had adequately comprehended the Coursera lecture contents and that their overall listening and oral communication skills had improved through listening to the on-line lectures presented with both English subtitles on and off. A questionnaire administered after their exposure to the BL activities indicated that students were satisfied with the training involving the on-line Coursera lectures and were motivated overall by the BL program incorporating mobile learning.
