Teacher beliefs and intentions regarding the instruction of English grammar under national curriculum reforms: A Theory of Planned Behaviour perspective
چکیده انگلیسی

While numerous studies in mainstream education have drawn on the Theory of Planned Behaviour to investigate curriculum impact, in English Language Teaching contexts such research is scant. This study applies the theory to anticipate the impact of the Japanese national curriculum for English, by exploring the beliefs of senior high school teachers regarding the integration of grammar with communication-oriented teaching. The findings imply that for some teachers, adoption will be hindered, firstly, by misconceptions regarding high-stakes examinations, resulting in unfavourable attitudes and perceptions of social pressure to reject reform; and secondly, by insufficient resources, such as time and training.


► Theory of Planned Behaviour used to anticipate the impact of Japanese national curriculum reforms.
► High school teacher beliefs and intentions regarding the integration of grammar teaching with meaning-oriented skills work.
► Intentions influenced by the interaction of three kinds of belief: behavioural, normative, and control.
► Control beliefs regarding perceptions of university entrance examinations mediated behavioural and normative beliefs.
► Control beliefs relating to insufficient time and training in appropriate methodology were frequently reported.
