Self-introduction
My work centers on English education within the Japanese school system, where I conduct broad-reaching research and teaching activities grounded in interdisciplinarity and practical application. In addition to my focus on teacher education and learning assessment, I am actively promoting Evidence-Based English Education (EBEE), Open Science, and Citizen Science. I am also deeply committed to advancing mathematical approaches in the field, specifically through the application of Bayesian modeling.
