          <datacite:description xml:lang="en" descriptionType="Abstract">This paper presents the findings in the third phase of a longitudinal project that explores the use of logic games in English as a pedagogic tool to develop EFL learners’ epistemic modality. A pilot study（n = 4）was conducted to investigate the research question: How do logic games influence epistemic modality and inferential skills? A mixed-methods design was conducted that combined pre-post quantitative testing with thematic analysis on semi structured interviews. Results indicated some linguistic development, with statistically significant gains in reductive and deductive forms. However, most developments did not reach statistical significance. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: inference development, self-reflection, and intrinsic motivation. However, while the present study uncovered some caveats, large-scale testing is recommended.</datacite:description>
          <datacite:description xml:lang="ja" descriptionType="Abstract">本研究は，論理ゲームを英語教育における教育的手法として活用し，EFL（外国語としての英語学習者）の認識的モダリティを育成することを目的とした縦断研究の第３段階における成果を報告するものである。予備調査（n＝4）を実施し，研究課題「論理ゲームは認識的モダリティおよび推論能力にどのような影響を及ぼすか」を検討した。研究デザインとしては，事前・事後の量的テストと半構造化インタビューに基づく質的テーマ分析を組み合わせた混合研究法を用いた。結果として，一部の言語的発達が確認され，とりわけ帰納推論・演繹推論に関わる言語発達において統計的に有意な向上が認められた。しかしながら，発達の多くは統計的有意差には至らなかった。テーマ分析からは「推論の発達」「自己省察」「内発的動機づけ」の3つのテーマが抽出された。本研究でいくつかの課題を明らかにしたが，より大規模な検証が推奨される。</datacite:description>
