• 発表要約: The Extremely Short Story Competition (ESSC) can provide an important new setting where English learners write English with some certain rules. They can both demonstrate their writing skills and unleash their imagination. Moreover, researchers expect the ESSC to have positive educational effects. The ESSC was originated by Professor Hassall of Zayed University in the UAE, and it was soon exported to Japan. In the competition, participants with all levels of English ability are invited to write stories with some rules; a) the students must write EXACTLY 50 words, b) the subject must be one of their own choice, c) the story can be fact or fiction, etc (Hassall, 2006). No matter what English ability the students have, it requires efforts to make the story exactly 50 words. Such small efforts will enable a writer at any level of proficiency to come up with a short story. From 2006, when the first ESSC started in Japan, writing ESS was experimentally introduced in some "English e-learning" classes of Tokyo Keizai University, Japan. This poster presentation is a report on progress describing how students of lower English ability reacted against participating in the competition.
