message

I am also in charge of seminars in the field of Japanese language education and research. Recently, I am particularly interested in activities such as "hospitality Japanese" and "connecting learners with society." Many of the students who take seminars are doing research in the fields of intermediate language pragmatics and Japanese language education. After graduation, we aim to develop Japanese language teachers who can play an active role not only in Japan but also overseas. To date, our graduates have taught Japanese in Canada, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and elsewhere.
