自己紹介・学生へのメッセージ
My teaching background is both in teaching Humanities, in particular History, as well as teaching English as a Foreign Language. I am particularly interested in combining English teaching with Humanities so that students gain knowledge about the contemporary and historical issues and the skills to analyze them. My other ongoing academic interest is helping students to become autonomous English learners, and more particularly how they can work together with their classmates to develop co-operative autonomy.

| 担当科目の内容 | In all of my classes I like to use English to do real world” tasks and primary research. This includes activities such conducting interviews, surveys, making travel plans, reviewing plays or exhibitions and site studies. In 2016, this included gashuku to Okinawa. Learning English in this way, students get the chance to simultaneously expand their knowledge, develop their thinking skills and pursue their interests. When students learn subjects through English, it also gives more chance to develop the ability to understand different points of view, and see familiar situations in different ways. With a rapidly globalizing world with increased demographic pressures, these are critical skills to develop.
Writing
The writing classes aim to develop language, content and analytical skills which prepare students for writing an English language thesis in their final year.
