 note = {Active Learning (AL) has attracted considerable attention in Japanese higher education in recent years. By requiring active student participation in classrooms, it can maximize student classroom engagement, leading to better educational outcomes. AL has been incorporated into classrooms at Miyazaki International College (MIC) since its establishment in 1994. However, it remained unknown what types of AL had been employed and how effective they were. Two surveys were administered to investigate faculty use of AL and students’ perceptions about its effectiveness on English skills. In this paper, the results from two surveys are summarized to identify important characteristics of AL use at MIC. Then, it discusses how effective students perceived a wide range of AL teaching strategies to be. Based on the findings, this paper suggests “best AL practices” to improve English skills.},
