Meiji Gakuin University
I am an associate professor for the Faculty of Economics at Meiji Gakuin University. For more than ten years, I have taught TOEFL and IELTS preparation classes, and I have published six TOEFL preparation textbooks, two IELTS preparation textbooks (will be published in December, 2020), and one English learning book intended for those who are supposed to study abroad in English-speaking countries. My research interests lie in genre-based teaching approaches and discourse analysis.
