研究内容
Broadly speaking, my research interests lie in the areas of translingualism (i.e. communication involving resources from different named languages and nonverbal affordances), English as a lingua franca, social interaction, language ideologies, and language learning/use. Reflecting these areas of interest, my research revolves around questions such as the following:
1) how do multilingual users of English communicate with each other despite the differences in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and pragmatic conventions?;
2) what are the dominant language ideologies for today’s English language learners and how do these ideologies influence their language learning/use?;
3) what role does English language teaching play in (re)producing hegemonic ideologies such as native speakerism and linguistic imperialism;
4) how might we envision social interaction beyond a preoccupation with linguistic structure?
5) how might real-life communication differ from what is taught in formal education and how could we, as researchers and educators, bridge this gap?
I draw on qualitative approaches, including conversation analysis, membership categorization analysis, narrative inquiry, and critical discourse analysis, in addressing these questions.

学部生へのメッセージ
「言語は道具である」と言われて久しいですが、この考えは皆さんの英語学習にどの程度反映されているでしょうか。道具として英語を学ぶということは、教室での学習にとどまらず、実際に英語を使用するなかで自分なりの使い方を身につけていくということを意味します。多言語話者の共通語として英語が用いられる現代においては、既存の言語規範に頼るだけではコミュニケーションを成立させることは到底できないため、実践から柔軟に学び、そのなかで自分の英語を育てていくことが重要となります。大学で英語を専門的に学ぶ皆さんにはぜひ英語を「使うこと」に目を向け、学内外の多様性を活用して学び続ける自走的な姿勢を身につけてほしいと願っています。
