This paper reports the initial results of a survey conducted as part of a multidimensional study. It explores the implications of active learning strategies and interventions adopted at a university level self-access learning center for English language education in Japan. The study examines two sample groups of students enrolled in a semester-long freshmen English speaking course: students who chose to utilize and students who chose not to utilize the self-access learning center for class-related purposes. The study begins with a comparison of the sample groups in an attempt to understand factors that influence students' attitudes toward learning English and engagement in learning activities. A brief detail of students' reported reasons for not utilizing the facility is provided, and attention is brought to gender differences among participants, which offers insights into accessibility and student autonomy. Finally, a description of students' perceived benefits and learning outcomes are offered as preliminary evidence of students' active engagement in the learning process. The study holds practical implications to improve learning experiences for students in learning spaces outside of traditional classroom settings. It is hoped that findings spark interest in the learning environments of self-access learning centers and their role in facilitating language learning and learning outcomes for students.

As academic courses shift online and access to campus becomes increasingly difficult, students have less opportunities to engage in face-to-face social interaction with their peers and instructors as well as decreased chances to access university support services. The disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic places students at risk of experiencing decreased motivation and well-being as they deal with uncertainties while coping with social distancing, restrictions in movement, and in some cases isolation away from family and friends. First-year students, transitioning from high school to university life, are particularly vulnerable as they navigate these challenges. This is a case study of the practices implemented at a Japanese university self-access learning center to sustain educational opportunities for first-year students during a time of crisis and uncertainty. The case study focuses on the interventions modifed to enhance student engagement in social interaction in a virtual learning environment. Measures taken to promote student staff training and development through distance teaching and learning will also be provided in detail. Finally, the unexpected educational benefits of student staff engagement in distance learning are explaine
