 note = {We report on collaborative action-research at an English programme at
International Christian University in Japan. Specifically, the study aims to help
Japanese learners of English write a unified and coherent academic paragraph for
a research essay by developing materials aligned to a pedagogical design. We
have identified a persistent problem in students’ writing, i.e. a lack of the essential
elements within a body paragraph. In order to create a more effective bridge
between students’ knowledge of how to write a paragraph and their performance,
material has been developed that highlights eight essential elements of an
academic paragraph. In an attempt to assess the effectiveness of different uses of
the material, various types of data were collected which include self and peer
paragraphs, their interaction during the peer review activity, and teacher
observations. The main preliminary findings are that the material provides a
platform for an effective peer review as well as for teacher-student conferences,
and it encourages students to write independently.},
