小林 恵美

I am a professor of educational linguistics in the Department of International Social Studies at Kyoai Gakuen University. I have been invloved in the preparation of future English language teachers for the last 16 years. I hold a PhD in Education (with a specialization in educational linguistics) from the University of Stirling, UK. My academic interests lie in the areas of second language (L2) learning and teaching, L2 teacher education and supervision, linguistic ethnography, and the integration of language and content in higher education. I'm particularly interested in the role of social interaction, especially dialogue, in L2 learning and L2 teacher learning.
