PROFILE

• I am interested in pedagogical implications of ELF (English as a Lingua Franca), and issues of language, literacy, meaning, and knowledge, particularly as they are interrelated in the generation, validation, and maintenance of structural power within academic institutions. I intend to continue to research the pedagogical implications of English as a lingua Franca.

Educational innovation, text books and other matters worth mentioning

• 2013　私は4つのクラスでMreaderプログラムを導入しました。MReaderは多読プログラムを実施したい学校への援助になるように設計されています。教師と生徒が本を読んで、内容を理解しているかどうかを確認することができます。各学生が項目の異なるセットを受信するように20～30項目の大項目のデータベースから問題が抽出され、学生はシンプルな10項目のクイズに回答します。クイズに合格する学生は、サイト上で自分のホームページ上での本の表紙をもらい受ける。 I piloted the Mreader program with four classes. MReader is designed to be an aid to schools wishing to implement an Extensive Reading program. It allows teachers and students to verify that they have read and understood their reading. This is done via a simple 10-item quiz with the items drawn from a larger item bank of 20-30 items so that each student receives a different set of items. Students who pass a quiz receive a cover of their book on their own home page on the site.　2013-09-20
