Details This paper reports an ongoing joint research project in which researchers in Applied Linguistics and in Neuroscience at universities in Japan explore new ways to investigate instructional scaffolding, which is often said to facilitate students’ flow in an EFL (English as a foreign language) classroom. The primary purpose of this project is to see whether or not instructional scaffolding enhances students’ flow during group work, which requires higher-order skill (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001) in a classroom.
