Using Spaced Repetition Software with a TOEIC Wordlist: Preliminary Results
the GCD curriculum. Three of these washback effects are apparent to the authors of this paper. The first is the creation of GCD courses that teach TOEIC test taking strategies and give test practice, which were set up by Japanese GCD faculty. The second is the creation of cooperative learning groups by foreign teachers of GCD students in the BECC, in which first and third year students collaborate to study for the TOEIC. The third is having GCD students study a TOEIC vocabulary list using Spaced Repetition Software (SRS). This paper describes this third project and gives some preliminary results of its second phase.
