特定読み手宛てのメール文タスクのフィードバック - 作文支援システム『さくらだより』のフィードバックを例に - = Method of Feedback for E-mail Tasks with Specific Readers: Using the Writing Support System "Sakura Dayori" as an Example

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to examine and propose the necessary and appropriate methods of providing feedback for written tasks with specific readers, using the writing support system 'Sakura Dayori' as an example. 'Sakura Dayori' differs from traditional feedback methods in content and manner of feedback. It is believed to be particularly effective for providing feedback on written tasks with specific readers. Traditional feedback for writing focuses on what is written, such as vocabulary and grammatical errors. However, 'Sakura Dayori' goes further by pointing out necessary expressions and vocabulary for task completion, including suggestions for what was not written. Most notably, since it deals with email writing tasks, it can also address considerations for the reader. Additionally, the feedback is delivered with special attention to the following: (1) clearly stating the reasons for the feedback, (2) using expressions appropriate to the learner's level, and (3) offering advice as gently as possible. This paper confirms whether the feedback provided by 'Sakura Dayori' is necessary and appropriate by comparing it with the elements of good language communication—'accuracy,' 'clarity,' 'appropriateness,' and 'respect and friendliness'—as outlined in the Agency for Cultural Affairs' report on 'Language Communication for Mutual Understanding.' In conclusion, 'Sakura Dayori' has been found to offer necessary and appropriate feedback for language communication. This feedback method is effective and suitable for written tasks with specific readers, providing essential feedback to learners without harming their writing motivation.
