2023	Teaching and Learning in Japanese Classrooms: Teachers' Perspectives	共著
	Cambridge Scholars ， B5 ， 13~26 ， 2023/05/26
	概要（Abstract） Traditional educational practices include attending classes, purchasing textbooks, listening to lectures, and collaborating with peers or classmates through group or pair work. For the most part, these learning methods help achieve the objectives of a particular study. However, there is an approach that helps enhance the learning experience but is often underrated, and that is, having the learners teach the skills they have learned well enough for others to learn them. In this paper, I would like to describe this practice, commonly known as ‘Learning by Teaching’ or LdL, and my own experiences in utilising it with English language learners at a Japanese university. Peer-tutoring, interchangeably called peer learning, is a well-established teaching practice that can be dated back to the ancient Greeks (Topping, 1996). Different academic investigations and research over the years about the different formats of peer-tutoring have led to a more formal description of the practice. In the 1980s, Jean-Pol Martin, a French language teacher at German schools, developed a teaching-learning approach that aimed to enhance the students’ learning experience by encouraging them to teach other students (Martin, 1985). This approach is now known as Learning by Teaching (LdL - from the German Lernen durch Lehren), an approach that “sees the students in the role of the teacher” (Stollhans, 2016, 161). A few philosophers have been quoted on the matter over the years: ‘To teach is to learn twice’ (Joubert); ‘He who teaches, learns’ (Comenius); or ‘Teaching is learning’ (Seneca) (Duran, 2016). This chapter will define peer learning and enumerate the benefits of online peer learning in EFL/ESL classrooms in an increasingly digital age. Furthermore, this paper will give descriptions of the tasks and activities that have been undertaken by EFL students to capitalise on the benefits of peer learning in an asynchronous online learning format. Based on the data from the students’ performance (completed tasks and activities), the practitioner has observed and confirmed that peer teaching and peer learning significantly contributes to language learning and acquisition. The practitioner will discuss the reasons the LdL Approach can be a ubiquitous instructional practice by educators in the ESL/EFL field.

2023	The Importance of Instructional Scaffolding in ESL Classrooms	単著
	Journal of the Nanzan Academic Society ， Nanzan Universiy ， vol. 114 ， 2023/06
	概要（Abstract） Instructional scaffolding is a pedagogical approach that facilitates learning through engaging, relevant, and carefully designed activities that efficiently develop the student’s skills and knowledge. In an English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom, instructional scaffolding is a valuable tool in helping students overcome the challenges associated with learning a new language, and thus consequently promotes language acquisition. In this article, the author will define instructional scaffolding and point out the importance of this pedagogical approach in the ESL classroom, the strategies for its implementation, and the challenges and considerations of instructional scaffolding in the ESL classroom.

	Journal of the Nanzan Academic Society ， Nanzan Universiy ， vol. 113 ， 2023/03
	概要（Abstract） Although the task-based approach has received significant interest and attention from EFL researchers and practitioners, there is always a concern about its effective implementation. Hence, this paper will discuss theme-based role play as an alternative tool in task-based EFL learning and teaching environments and share topics for theme-based role play in an EFL classroom. Also, the author will briefly describe the origin of role play, explain what it is, present how it is valuable in the development of EFL learners’ social and communicative competence and discuss its benefits in EFL classrooms. Furthermore, this paper will present the three main stages of role play for its successful implementation in an EFL classroom.

2022	ESL Education in Technology-Based Learning Environments	単著
	Journal of the Nanzan Academic Society ， Nanzan Universiy ， vol. 112 ， 2022/07
	概要（Abstract） Educators in the field of English as a Second Language (ESL) select content and design lessons that address the learners' developmental and practical language needs. Of these methods and approaches for ESL instructions, the most preferred recently is the use of technology and online resources. Coincidentally, the unanticipated shifting from face-to-face instructions to online or hybrid has directed both the ESL educators and learners to the extensive use of technology and online resources. Hence, ESL educators nowadays search for easy-to-follow instructions and teaching tools that can set learners up for practical and productive online language learning. This paper will briefly discuss how virtual learning environments foster ESL education, outline a list of online interactive language teaching and learning websites and apps, and examine the difficulties ESL educators and learners may encounter while utilizing technology and online tools in the teaching and learning process.

2021	Online Task-based English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Education	単著
	The Journal of the School of Foreign Studies ， Aichi Prefectural University ， no. 53 ， 283-293 ， 2021/03
	概要（Abstract） The use of technology-mediated task-based language education (TBLT) online is now more than ever imperative as the sudden disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has unpredictably redefined the educational institutions' approaches and methodologies. Online language education has become a reality for many foreign language programs that have been precipitously compelled to remote teaching. Therefore, as language classrooms are now being redefined, further knowledge of how to set learners up to do online task-based studies to achieve their language learning goals must be part of teachers' professional development. There are multiple academic resources written on tasks, technology, task-based language courses online, and the availability of multimedia input resources like YouTube videos, Netflix movies, newscasts, and podcasts and free online reading materials. Still, there remains few, if none, methodological guidelines for how to do TBLT online that promotes productive language output, scaffolds the kind of interaction that facilitates and motivates language learning, and gives feedback, which are crucial to develop foreign language skills (Gass, 1997; Long,1981; Swain, 1995; Swain and Watanabe, 2013). This article will do a literature review of Task-based Language Teaching (TLBT) principles and give two examples of lesson plans that demonstrate the Willis (1996, 2012) task-based methodology framework for synchronous and video-based online teaching and learning.

2020	Adapting to the Changing Norms by Shifting from On-site to Online Classes	単著
	Mulberry ， Aichi Prefectural University ， no. 70 ， 71-84 ， 2020/08
	概要（Abstract） The objective of English as a Second Language (ESL) educator has always been to make learning relevant to the learners' lives and language needs. ESL professionals and practitioners have continuously developed various methods and approaches to achieve this goal. Two of these many effective means for widening language learning opportunities, as much research has shown, are the use of technology and online resources. With the sudden disruption caused by COVID-19 in the academe worldwide, the use of technology and online resources has become more imperative for education and more widespread in educational institutions and homes. This dramatic expansion has made many ESL teachers fully utilize technology and online resources for language teaching. Therefore, as language classrooms are now being redefined, further knowledge on how to set learners up to do online tasks successfully that they may achieve their language learning goals must be part of teachers' professional development. This paper will briefly discuss how the effective use of technology and online resources improves learners' language learning skills, a categorized list of online language teaching and learning tools, and the challenges of utilizing technology and online tools in the teaching and learning process

2020	Utilizing Folktaleas Culture-Specific Schemata to Promote English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Reading Fluency	単著
	The Journal of the School of Foreign Studies ， Aichi Prefectural University ， no. 52 ， 343-352 ， 2020/03
	概要（Abstract） Selecting materials that can promote ESL/EFL reading fluency and can provide reading lessons that are dynamic, motivating and meaningful are problems that language teacher often face. As a result, teachers are pressed to resort to monotonous activities found on teaching resources which oftetimes make the students discouraged to actively participate. One under-utilized teaching concept in the field of foreign language teaching is the use of folktales in reading class. Folktales contain and convey thematic elements that are profound for all humanity (Kuroda, 2013). The thematic nature of folktales which includes moral lessons, values, misconduct, admonition, deceit and similar things are significant for all, consequently making folktales suitable materials in promoting ESL/EFL reading fluency (Taylor, 2000). This paper will present the rationale for utilizing folktales as culture-specific schemata to promote ESL/EFL reading fluency. The paper will also show how folktales drawn from the students' own culure are utilized in getting them familiar with extensive reading, thus resulting to fluency in reading other types of fictional materials.
