研究概要
Applied research for teachers, administrators, textbook publishers and other educational professionals Research can be categorized in different ways, according to disciplines, whether it is basic or applied research, quantitative, qualitative or multimethod, to name just a few. My main goal in research is to relate it to everyday practice in education and to make it meaningful to people in other disciplines or other parts of the world as well. That is why I am trying to involve different stakeholders like students, teachers, administrators or potential employers, colleagues from different disciplines, institutions or geographic locations and research methods that provide multiple perspectives on any issue. For the same reason, I like to attend a variety of scholarly meetings, from teacher conferences to applied linguistics symposia, big international venues to smaller regional events. They help me put my work into perspective. One language policy issue I have been interested in for a while is the kind of English we teach and we want our students to learn. While many institutions still hire their teachers based on their nativeness or perceived function in either providing a model and input or explaining the workings of the language in the students' mother tongue, international communication has changed in the age of globalization. With the rise of English as a de facto lingua franca, intercultural communication in English between non-native speakers is the scenario students will be facing in their future lives. A comparative study of Japanese and Chinese teachers' and students' awareness of and attitudes toward different kinds of Englishes, as well as a multi-country comparison of language directors' hiring practices I conducted, presented and published have hopefully contributed to illustrating some aspects of this issue. One pedagogical issue I have been grappling with is how to improve teacher-student communication. Traditionally, student evaluations are conducted in the last few weeks of class, which might be helpful for general planning of future classes but not for the specific set of students. From my longitudinal pre-mid-post designs, from skill questionnaires to writing assignments to student self-assessment, I have been able to identify and address issues from the beginning which have then led to higher self-ratings and performance of students in the end. Similarly, the use of task-specific rubrics to clarify learning objectives and guide the students in the assignment has created a transparent framework for grading practices and virtually zero complaints on the part of students. Finally, a program issue that comes along with internationalization - English Medium Universities, Content-Based Instruction and/or English for Specific Purposes - is the question of how to tailor the language curriculum to different disciplines or how to help students learn their major through English. While developing ESP modules for law, business, art and journalism in China, I was able to understand the process better through student surveys and interviews, teacher interviews and classroom observation. In my current teaching and reseach context, I have the chance to observe a curriculum reform project from day one. I hope my findings can contribute to making the process more transparent, meaningful and effective for all stakeholders involved.

研究者からのメッセージ
1.	Looking for collaborators My research interests include intercultural communication, language pedagogy and comparative education. Some current projects focus on English as a Lingua Franca in international communication, language, culture and identity in transnational communities and language policy and practice in tertiary education. I subscribe to a transdisciplinary multi-method approach including discourse analysis, surveys, interviews and focus groups, and like to participate in multi-site collaborative action-research projects involving multiple stakeholders. If you are interested in collaborating on a project in any of those areas - more details can be found in the research summary section - please contact me so we can discuss possible joint agendas.
