Message to the prospective students

The thesis guidance for students will be in line with my research approach described below. Instruction will be mostly on theoretical studies that analyze crucial concepts, practical studies that target and verbalize the practitioner's practical knowledge, or more theoretically oriented practical studies that deepen the analysis of that practical wisdom. About so-called quantitative and qualitative research, I take an applied and clinical approach which respects complexities and (multiple) subjectivities from language teaching research. （Please refer to Yanase (2020)) Therefore, it is difficult for me to supervise students who want to derive universal causality from only a small amount of quantitative data in an experiment that oversimplifies the context of the practice.
　Those who are considering me as one of the candidates for their supervisor MUST download the "Entry Format for a Research Proposal" from the URL below, fill it out, and send it to me as an email attachment. I will not conduct an interview unless applicants submit the format.

　If I find that the proposal is good enough, I will proceed to a Skype/Zoom interview. During the interview, I will see if the applicant has sufficient general academic skills to write a thesis and is prepared to take on the long hardships of learning. The applicant and I will check whether they can form a relationship that allows for frank constructive criticism mutually. They will also check whether their research styles are close enough to each other. I take this procedure because a supervisor and an applicant need sufficient mutual understanding before the applicant begins the life as a graduate or research student, which costs financial and human resources. For more information about my research style, please refer to the blog below.

Research areas	philosophical language pedagogy
Keywords	English Language Teaching / Language Teaching, Practitioner Research / Practical Research, Qualitative Study, Meaning
Themes	My specialty is philosophical language pedagogy. Specifically, I am researching English education in Japan. As a philosophical framework, he draws on the philosophies of Wittgenstein, Arendt, and others, as well as philosophical considerations such as Luhmann (theoretical sociology), Damasio, Tononi, and Barrett (neuroscience), or Bruner (cultural psychology). By using philosophical concepts, I conduct theoretical research, practical research, and research that bridges the two. In my theoretical work, I have analyzed concepts such as "communicative language ability" and "narrative" and clarified their language pedagogical implications. I am currently working on the concept of "meaning" in particular. My practical research has analyzed the reflections of the incumbent and student teachers of English to show the pathways of growth for English teachers. Currently, I pay particular attention to the function of "dialogue" in "tojisha-kenkyu," a community-based self-help research. Concerning research that bridges scientific knowledge and practical knowledge, I have published articles that show the future perspectives for language education.
