1. 研究内容
-------

1988年に日本でEFLの教師としてキャリアをスタートさせたノーバート・シュミットは、すぐに言語学習者がどのように第二言語を習得するのかに興味を持つようになった。テンプル大学ジャパンキャンパスの大学院修士課程に在籍中、学習者が語彙をどのように学ぶかについて研究を始める。

1994年、ノッティンガム大学にて博士号を取得し、語彙への関心を高める。

1997年の博士号取得後、ノッティンガム大学の教員となり、2020年9月の定年退職まで同大学で教鞭をとる。現在、同大学の応用言語学名誉教授。

シュミットは25年以上にわたって第二言語の語彙に関する問題を研究し、語彙テスト、定型文、コーパスに基づく研究、語彙知識と英語の読み・聞き能力のインターフェースなど、語彙研究のあらゆる側面に関心を広げている。

彼の功績は以下の通り。

一般学習者にとって重要な言語についての100の問題を解説した著書『Language Power』
語彙と応用言語学に関する9冊の本
60以上の国際的な学術論文
合計100以上の論文と論文集の分担執筆
語彙の分野における新しい用語の導入
単語知識 中頻度語彙 エンゲージメント フォーム想起 意味想起
アイトラッキングのような心理言語学的研究手法の定型言語研究への導入
標準的な第二言語語彙力テスト「Vocabulary Levels Test」の共同開発
応用言語学に重要な貢献をしている10名以上の博士課程学生の指導シュミットの経歴や出版物は、個人サイトで確認できる。
