From May 2018, I have been working with Projects Associate Professor, Graham Mackenzie and the English Curriculum Committee with the design and planning of the SPSF(Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures) courses.From 2019, I have been planning the EMI-Share sessions as a member of the FD working group. We explore aspects of language use in EMI, and offer support in EMI practice. In AY 2020, the working group planned and rolled out three EMI-Share sessions online. In AY2021, the working group offered six zoom sessions, two of which I took an initiative in planning.
From 2014, I have been involved in the planning and implementation of a Professional Development Programme at Center for Language Education and Research.My responsibilities include the establishment of a sustainable teacher development programme to facilitate interaction amongst staff to establish a CLIL learning community. The activities of our Professional Development Programme include inservice training sessions that focus on the theories and practice in the teaching and learning of English for Academic Purposes and CLIL. My aim for the academic year 2018 is to cultivate Inservice Training Sessions that link in well with the University's strategic aims to develop content courses that integrate the learning of language. The key, Thus, I am creating activities to contribute to the nurturing of a professional community for CLIL through the implementation of a structured Professional Development Programme at Center for Language Education and Research.

Language Learning in Higher Education, 12(1) 309-326, May 25, 2022 Last authorAbstract The benefit of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) for second language (L2) development has been addressed by second language acquisition theory and investigated by empirical studies. However, previous studies have not demonstrated the effectiveness of CLIL precisely as most of their study participants took CLIL and non-CLIL courses concurrently. Additionally, existing studies have focused on the effectiveness of CLIL in primary and secondary education and rarely addressed it in higher education. The present study considered the limitations of the previous studies and investigated the development of L2 English productive skills (i.e., speaking and writing) through CLIL conducted in a university in Japan. This study employed a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design, in which all participants received CLIL instruction for four months undertaking the pretest and posttest. The results showed that their productive skills improved significantly. The analysis of pretest and posttest scores also revealed the specific areas of productive skills that benefitted from CLIL, such as Task Achievement (speaking and writing), Coherence and Cohesion (writing), and Grammatical Range and Accuracy (writing). However, this study revealed that the degree of improvement was small, and that vocabulary and critical thinking skills did not improve significantly. This study’s findings provide empirical evidence for the effectiveness of CLIL itself on L2 development in higher education.

Lingua, 31 167-176, Dec 25, 2020This is a report on a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project between a group of sixteen Science students at Sophia University and Japanese majors at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (UNCC). This programme took place in the Autumn Term of 2019 with the collaboration of Mr Jordan Bledsoe of UNCC. Here I examine how students set their goals in connection to a video exchange programme funded by the Sophia COIL project with special reference to the focus group meetings that took place in October and December 2019.
