| Comments |
My research has started to answer the question "what kind of experiences do Japanese language learners have in Japan." which grabbed me as a Japanese language teacher and as a foreign language learner. In the process of tackling the question, I was aware of the fallacy and the limit I was captured. I am also interested in qualitative research methods and teacher education. |
