I have been engaging in Japanese language education since 2012 and had taught in China and Hawai’i before UBC, teaching Japanese as a foreign/second language as well as Japanese business/academic skills. Also, I taught Japanese as a heritage language to those Japanese children who were born in Hawai’i.

My general research interests are in language assessment and evaluation. As the world has been facing towards more of evidence-based education, I am currently interested in the notion of accountability in language education. Also, I am interested in blended learning.
