Brief Biography

Part-time Lecturer: Osaka Electro-Communication University

Research Overview

I'm researching learning sequences and teaching methods that will improve the understanding of postmodification (relative clauses, contact clauses, participial postmodification), which is said to be one of the most difficult structures for Japanese learners of English, with the aim of minimizing early-stage stumbling blocks in English learning.
I'm conducting research into the absorption, reflection, and realization of public opinion by boards of education in the board of education system, and are researching the maturity of boards of education, with the aim of promoting education that is rooted in the community.
