Autonomous Learning, Motivation, Multiculturalism

Current research interests

My educational backgrounds are in law and in education with a specialization in TESOL. Recently, I have been researching and studying ways to promote and implement autonomous learning to Japanese students. In this regard, I have been particularly interested in the utilization of self-assessment and goal-setting activities. Additionally, since motivation plays a key role and is a determinative factor in a student’s ability to successfully learn English, I have been attempting to use a wide range of motivational strategies in my teaching practices to assist students in reaching their long-term language learning goals.
As well, since as a Canadian multiculturalism is one of my core values, I am involved with research pertaining to it.
