Le deuxième présentera un panorama d’ensemble des manuels de français utilisés dans les universités japonaises. Le troisième parlera de l’utilisation de la théorie du chaos dans les deux domaines de l’apprentissage des langues et de la profession d’infirmier.

Hiroshima International University
I am a professor at Hiroshima International University. I taught English at Kanda University of International Studies (1995-1998) before my present job. Although I have only been teaching English in Japan, I have a Master's degree in teaching French language and literature. I had taught French as well before coming to Japan. I joined the OLE SIG because I believe that students should have a wide choice of languages not just English.
