Research content and themes of interest	To analyze how the mother tongue interferes with Japanese language education, particularly when learners write Japanese sentences, and to utilize this information in Japanese language education methods. To clarify the current situation and issues surrounding young Japanese language learners, and to develop necessary support and Japanese language teaching methods.
What makes the research interesting?	In research on the Japanese language and Japanese language education, we look at the Japanese language that we use casually every day from the perspective of a foreign language, so we are surprised and discover many things. When we study and think about the background and rules of Japanese language, such as whether it is really "disorderly," how youth slang comes about, and whether a green light is green, the way we see things changes completely. I think it's easy to imagine that studying a foreign language expands your world. However, even the Japanese that you already know (or think you do) has a lot of interesting things to say. Why not study Japanese language and Japanese language education and discover a new world with us?
