I was appointed as the study abroad advisor in April 2009. My main
job responsibility is to offer various educational services that aim to
assist students’future planning, including study abroad opportunities
and guide them to realize their plans. My research field is English
language education and second language acquisition. Growing up in the
U.S, I'm also interested in returnee students' re-adjustment to Japan
and how they can obtain the language they acquired while they lived
abroad.
