The purpose of the research was to introduce the method of students＇ presentations in foreign language teaching, as well as the topics related to the culture and civilization of the English-speaking countries. After the introductory lectures on how the presentation on the given topic in the English language should be prepared, and after the presentations were delivered by the students during one semester, the results of the questionnaires which the students had to solve at the beginning and the end of the semester, were compared. The goal of the research was to examine the extent in which the students acquired the contents presented to them in such a way. The obtained results are satisfactory, although they have not fully met the expectations. However, if the problems and flaws are identified and addressed, the method can be further improved and better results achieved, both regarding the foreign language competencies, as well as multicultural awareness of young people.展开更多

These surveys included patients who had SSNHL in 1972, 1987, 1993, 2001, and 2012. Using the criteria for the grading of hearing loss in SSNHL or the criteria for grading the degree of hearing recovery after SSNHL established by the Research Committee, we compared the outcomes of SSNHL between the five nationwide surveys. The results revealed that the outcomes of SSNHL have not changed in the past 40 years. In 1972, 88% of patients received steroids, but none received prostaglandin E1(PGE1). The use of PGE1 has increased since the 1980 s, but its effect on SSNHL may not be significant. Intratympanic steroid injection has been introduced recently for the treatment of SSNHL, but it does not seem to be used widely in Japan. Intratympanic therapy that can reduce the total amount of steroids administered will be used more frequently if the true effects and indications for this therapy are known. Elucidation of the etiologies of SSNHL and development of treatments specific for these etiologies are expected.展开更多
