Teaching and Research Fields
I've been teaching English in the UK and Japan for over 15 years, covering exam preparation, business English, and everyday conversation. With a background in Creative Writing, I specialize in helping students to hone their written English. I am strongly of the opinion that language acquisition should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. As such, my research explores student motivation, Self Access Centers, and using AI for independent learning.
