English Education

Names Research Details
Anne M. Crescini I am currently researching the impact that the overseas study abroad experience has not only on the English ability of university students, but also on increasing their level of cultural awareness. I am also researching the impact of foreign loanwords on the English pronunciation of native Japanese speakers.
Tetsuya Kashiwagi My primary research fields are corpus linguistics¡ªwhich covers style, register, rhetoric, and lexico-grammatical features¡ªas well as the analysis of learner corpus and its application for second language acquisition.
Roger J.A. Prior I am studying translation methods and techniques, paying particular regard to the translation of humour. I am focussing on how jokes and wit, which are rooted in culture and language, can be translated into a different system of signs.
Eiichiro Tsutsui I have been using ICT and other technological devices for various educational purposes.
Masanobu Ueda My research interests are concerned with how our linguistic and encyclopedic knowledge of a word, especially a verb, is organized, and how the verb's semantics is associated with sentence patterns. I am currently making a contrastive study of the English ditransitive construction and its Japanese counterpart, and verbs that are associated with each construction. I would like to elucidate the differences and similarities in how the giving and receiving situations (in a literal and metaphorical sense) are encoded in each language system.
