Explore effective teaching and learning methods to improve usable English skills
Professor Hirohide Mori, Department of International Liberal Arts
[The interface between English language pedagogy and second language acquisition theory]
Originally aiming to become a junior high or high school English teacher, my field of expertise is "English Language Education", which is the study of how to teach English, and "Second Language Acquisition Theory", which is the study of how to learn English. In order to explore effective teaching and learning methods to improve the four skills of English, which can be used in real communication situations as an international common language, I have scientifically analyzed data collected in the field of education and devised various teaching and learning methods based on the findings.

In particular, the "counterbalance hypothesis," which proposes effective feedback to correct learners' errors during communication, has attracted the attention of many researchers and teachers around the world. Based on this knowledge, I have also cooperated with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the National Center for University Entrance Examinations in reforming university English entrance exams, such as introducing the English Four Skills Qualification Exam into university entrance exams and developing the University Common Test. More than anything, what makes my life as a researcher rewarding is being able to help as many people as possible to use English to communicate with people around the world.
