Hi everyone. I've been working at Sojo University in Kumamoto, a beautiful part of the world, for the past 10 years. I recently finished my PhD, through the Queensland University of Technology, on English loanwords in Japanese. I'm interested in sociolinguistics and a few other things.

Emergency Remote Teaching: Reflecting on Practice
New educational conditions in a context of Covid-19 have required teacher reflection on how learning can be effectively supported. This qualitative study examined how teachers had adapted practices to support student engagement and learning. Data were collected via one-to-one semi-structured interviews with 10 teachers. Using a thematic analysis, the examination uncovered variability in teaching experiences, perceptions on learning, and professional development needs. The variability among teachers may be insightful and may resonate with other teachers.
