research content(student)
I am interested in researching any area of language education that will make better English learners and English teachers. Recently I have been researching the English Education Center's Extensive Reading Program in order to find ways to improve it. Other areas I research are instructional methods and language learning strategies. I also work on Japanese to English translation, especially modern fiction.
