I was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and obtained a BA in Cross-Cultural Studies from Kobe University in 2004. During my undergraduate studies, I completed a MA certificate in TESOL at University of New Mexico, USA, with the ambassadorial scholarship from the Rotary Foundation. I then moved to Montreal, Canada, where I completed a MA degree in Second Language Education (2004-2006, in 1.5 years) and a PhD degree in Educational Studies (2008-2011, in 3 years), both at McGill University.
Since 2012, I have been teaching at the Department of English at Universidad Andres Bello, Chile, where I train pre-service and in-service second language teachers. I hold Affiliated Professor positions at Michigan State University (USA), Curtin University (Australia), Anaheim University (USA), and Shanghai International Studies University (China). |
I received the 2014 ACTFL/MLJ Paul Pimsleur Award and currently the Editor of the international journal Language Awareness (Taylor & Francis). I am also Co-Director of TESOLgraphics whose aim is to facilitate communication between researchers and practitioners related to second language teaching. Recently, I founded MonISLA (Montreal Institute of Second Language Acquisition) with Gabriel Michaud (University of Montreal). We try to collect Montreal-based researchers’ knowledge, experience, and skills so as to facilitate collaborative and cutting-edge research.
Throughout my career, I’ve taught a second language (English and Japanese), including as a full-time teacher in Japan for three years and as the father of three in Montreal (we are a trilingual family). My research interest includes instructed second language acquisition, peer interaction, metacognition, corrective feedback, learner psychology, teacher beliefs, race and accent, and the research-practice relationship. My overarching research agenda is to conduct theoretical and applied research in order to facilitate the dialogue between practitioners and researchers.
