各問の英文や図表を読み、最も適当な選択肢を選びなさい。

Your college English club’s room has several problems and you want to redesign it.Based on the following article and the results of a questionnaire given to members,you make a handout for a group discussion.

What Makes a Good Classroom?
Diana Bashworth,writer at Trends in Education

As many schools work to improve their classrooms,it is important to have some ideas for making design decisions.SIN,which stands for Stimulation,Individualization,and Naturalness,is a framework that might be helpful to consider when designing classrooms.
The first,Stimulation,has two aspects: color and complexity.This has to do with the ceiling,floor,walls,and interior furnishings.For example,a classroom that lacks colors might be uninteresting.On the other hand,a classroom should not be too colorful.A bright color could be used on one wall,on the floor,window coverings,or furniture. In addition,it can be visually distracting to have too many things displayed on walls.It is suggested that 20 to 30 percent of wall space remain free.
The next item in the framework is Individualization,which includes two considerations: ownership and flexibility.Ownership refers to whether the classroom feels personalized.Examples of this include having chairs and desks that are suitable for student sizes and ages,and providing storage space and areas for displaying student works or projects.Flexibility is about having a classroom that allows for different kinds of activities.
Naturalness relates to the quality and quantity of light,both natural and artificial,and the temperature of the classroom.Too much natural light may make screens and boards difficult to see; students may have difficulty reading or writing if there is a lack of light.In addition,hot summer classrooms do not promote effective study.Schools should install systems allowing for the adjustment of both light and temperature.
While Naturalness is more familiar to us,and therefore often considered the priority,the other components are equally important.Hopefully,these ideas can guide your project to a successful end.

Results of the Questionnaire
Q1: Choose any items that match your use of the English club‛s room. (See the graph below.)

Q2: What do you think about the current English club‛s room?
Main comments:
Student1(S1): I can’t see the projector screen and whiteboard well on a sunny day.Also,there’s no way to control the temperature.
S2: By the windows,the sunlight makes it hard to read.The other side of the room doesn’t get enough light.Also,the books are disorganized and the walls are covered with posters.It makes me feel uncomfortable.
S3: The chairs don’t really fit me and the desks are hard to move when we work in small groups.Also,lots of members speak Japanese,even though it’s an English club.
S4: The pictures of foreign countries on the walls make me want to speak English.Everyone likes the sofas ― they are so comfortable that we often use the room for sleeping!
S5: The room is so far away,so I hardly ever go there! Aren’t there other rooms available?
S6: There’s so much gray in the room.I don’t like it.But it’s good that there are plenty of everyday English phrases on the walls!

 ― Based on both the graph and ( 29 )’s comment,should we set a language rule in the room to motivate members to speak English more?
 ― S5 doesn’t like the location,but we can’t change the room,so let’s think about how to encourage members to visit more often.

Too much natural light may make screens and boards difficult to see; students may have difficulty reading or writing if there is a lack of light.

→「自然光が多すぎるとスクリーンや黒板が見づらい」「光が足りないと読み書きがしづらい」

 

In addition,hot summer classrooms do not promote effective study.

→「夏の暑さは効果的な学習を促さない」

 

これらの内容を踏まえ、「教室の光」「教室の温度」に関連していない選択肢を探しましょう。

選択肢1. A

Install blinds on windows.

「窓にブラインドを取り付ける。」

 

これは自然光の量の調整と考えられます。



 

選択肢2. B

Make temperature control possible.

「可能な室温調整を行う。」

 

これは教室の温度の調整です。

選択肢3. C

Move projector screen away from windows.

「プロジェクタースクリーンを窓から遠くに動かす。」

これは、「教室の光」「教室の温度」いずれにも関連しない工夫です。これが正答になります。

選択肢5. E

Put floor lamp in darker corner.
