Teaching and Research Fields
My research interest lies in the areas closely related to classroom teaching for English as a foreign/second language. This is because of my desire to apply the findings from the research to improve my teaching skills. I am interested in any approaches/methods that can help learners better improve their English. My research has focused on effective classroom activities for fostering English language acquisition and how and when feedback should be given to learners. As for the 4 skills, I have researched on pedagogy for improving listening and speaking skills since these skills are particularly challenging for Japanese learners. In terms of grammar, I have researched on effective methods for helping learners deepen their understanding of grammar through input (reading and listening) and fostering them to use these grammar points in their output (writing and speaking). In the future, with the teaching experience and the knowledge gained from the research, I hope to contribute to improving English education in Japan.
