音象徴 (語の音と意味の関連性) について研究しています。たとえば、アは明るく、オは暗く感じませんか?ガ行は強そうで、パ行はかわいいという気がしませんか?とりわけ、オノマトペ (擬音語・擬態語) には日英共通の傾向があり、音象徴は普遍的に存在するようです。また、ネーミングにも実用的な効果が見られ、大変興味深いです。

専門分野

TESOL

I have two connected branches to my research interest. I am first interested in motivation. I have looked at ways to promote student motivation, through giving some autonomy in the class, using projects and topics designed specifically interest students and goal setting. I have written several papers related to this topic. In addition to this, and somewhat related to motivation, my second interest is in positive psychology and its implications for the second language classroom. Research has shown that a positive experience can increase willingness to participate or do something again. Even when the start was difficult, if the ending was good then the lasting impression of the activity is a positive one.

Research plan
I am now looking at ways to measure the effect of positive psychology in the language classroom.
I would like to find ways to compare students’ motivation and attitude before and after the implementation of positive psychology.

専門分野

My research investigates work life balance in Japan: the number of hours fathers and mothers are working, what contribution both make to childcare if any, and the division of housework by households with at least one child attending kindergarten, in Fukuoka City. Is work life balance being sought after and achieved by fathers?

研究教育活動

 I would like to test techniques which have the potential to improve the spoken English fluency of Japanese university students with particular focus on linking, and weak forms with the aim to produce smooth and fluent pronunciation. This is of paramount importance when aiming to be understood in L2, and also for keeping the listeners’ attention. The pauses and flow are possibly just as detrimental as is mastering the use of correct vocabulary for spoken proficiency.
