The year of 1999 was not a very good year for gorillas in Japan.Two sad and strange stories about captive gorillas in a Tokyo zoo were reported in the mass media.I was involved in this problem as a primate(gorilla)researcher and came to the realization that, in Japan, zoo animals are regarded simply as breeding machines that are easily replaceable by buying other animals.I found it was really difficult to talk with zoo personnel on how to promote the welfare of zoo animals to assure'quality of life'and respect for 'the dignity'of animals.Why is the understanding of zoo animals by Japanese zoo professionals so different from that of Western countries?Surely this difference needs to be clarified before discussions to change this situation in the future can occur.Clearly, Japanese zoos have not kept up with the times, and is not only a problem for zoos but also for all Japanese because sympathy for captive animals as the weak is an indication of our attitude toward all living things inclusing humans.

研究ノートアウトプット仮説によれば、スピーキングあるいはライティングで首尾一貫して正確にしかも適切にメッセージを伝えようとすること(プッシュトアウトプット)により、学習者は言語をより深く認識し処理できるようになり、第2言語習得は促進すると考えられている (Swain,1985,1995)。本稿では、近年のタスクに関する研究に注目し、プッシュトアウトプットを促進する条件について、タスクの種類と構成要素に焦点を当て、その影響を言語習得の3要素である正確さ、流暢さ、そして複雑さ (Crookes,1989; Skehan,1996)の観点から論ずる。

This study investigated the relationship between the TOEIC Bridge and TOEIC test scores, in particular, the extent to which the TOEIC Bridge test scores can predict the TOEIC test scores. The participants in this study were 292 non-English major students who took both the TOEIC Bridge and TOEIC tests in 2009. They were first-year students enrolled in a private university in Western Japan. Their scores on both tests were statistically examined using regression analysis. The results of the study showed that (1) the scores of the TOEIC Bridge and TOEIC tests were moderately correlated and (2) the TOEIC Bridge scores significantly predicted the TOEIC scores. Equations for estimating the TOEIC scores using the TOEIC Bridge scores were also specified, from which a comparison of the predicted TOEIC scores from the ETS study and the present study was constructed. The results of the comparison showed that the predicted scores from the two studies had similar intercepts and slopes for a certain range of TOEIC Bridge scores, but that the predicted scores diverged above this range.
