2020年度
教育の責任（何をやっているか：主たる担当科目）：
College English Listening（１単位）、College English Speaking（１単位）、中級英語Presentation（４単位）、中級英語Speaking（４単位）、国際理解English（２単位）、Area Studiesタイコース（２単位）
教育の理念（なぜやっているか：教育目標）：
On a broad level, I’ve chosen to teach English to university students in order to help them gain access to the broader world of ideas and experiences that comes with becoming communicative in a global language. Because of this emphasis on becoming communicative and viewing English as a global tool, I tend to encourage students to focus less on “correctness” and more on mutual understanding and fluency when using English. This is evident in the way that I teach all of my skills-based courses (e.g., Speaking, Listening, Presentation). It is also noticeable in the ways that I teach more content-oriented courses (e.g., 国際理解English, Area Studies), but these courses additionally encourage students to develop more critical thinking skills through deeper and more sustained exposure to cultural content.
教育の方法（どのようにやっているか：教育の工夫）：
My courses tend to be centered on a textbook which I loosely follow. A textbook brings noticeable structure and patterns to a course, and moving through the text as the course progresses tends to help students feel a sense of accomplishment. However, whatever text I use, plenty of other original activities and tasks are woven into the course based on the learning needs and preferences of the students being taught. While unique to each course, these additional activities tend to include things like student-led discussion groups; paired tasks based on information gaps, songs for listening, vocabulary, and topic introductions; poster presentations; and group tasks with an element of fun competition in them such as quiz contests.
教育方法の評価・学習の成果（どうだったか：結果と評価）：
I feel like my courses are mostly successful since the activities and tasks that I do in them have been developed over years and years of observing what tends to work and not work well within this particular educational context. Japanese educational culture is not exactly monolithic, but its prevailing tendencies are more pervasive than in other regions that have greater cultural diversity. Thus, classes can be designed to at first take advantage of what students already tend to be familiar with and do well in order to more quickly get them to a point where meaningful challenges emerge. Watching students successfully make this transition to a deeper lever of learning beyond their previous comfort zone gives me great pleasure as a teacher, and I think I am able to structure my courses in ways that at least the majority of the students feel that they have successfully crossed a bridge or two by the time it is over.
改善点・今後の目標（これからどうするか）：
I aim to incorporate user-friendly IT elements to a greater degree in my classes. For example, last year in one of my courses I began each class with a 5-point online quiz that students accessed with smartphones via a QR code. Beyond serving as a reminder and review of materials for the students, the results came to me in real time and so I could quickly see how familiar they were with the concepts I planned to teach and I could make lesson adjustments as needed based on this incoming data. I plan to expand use of this system. I am also planning to team up with a professor of Japanese in the U.S. so that our students can participate in a video exchange system (via an educational tool called Flipgrid) to increase authentic language use opportunities while also deepening cross-cultural exposure and ties.
根拠資料（資料の種類などの名称）：
I design and manage a unique website for each class I teach. I also provide original learning materials, use online learning tools such as Google Classroom and Flipgrid, and invite student feedback through reaction papers and reaction videos.
