I currently coordinate a Japanese language teacher training program at Hokkaido University of Education Hakodate. In addition to this, I teach several weeks at an English language teacher training course, and this presentation focuses on the challenges I faced during the English language teacher training class with the COVID-19 pandemic. My research interest is utilizing simplified Japanese for Japanese language teacher training, reflective activities, supporting culturally linguistically diverse children, and utilizing ICT in foreign language learning.

Students' Gains Through Emergency Remote Learning
This study examines what college students have gained through emergency remote learning utilizing ICT tools during a pedagogy course. This course adopted Slack, Zoom, Google services, and online quiz tools. A post questionnaire was conducted and the results indicate that most students believe the style of education in schools would change post COVID-19. It was also found that some of them had applied their acquired ICT skills to other situations outside of class.
