Research

Research Topics, Overview of the research

• Research Topics

  Interlanguage Pragmatic Development, Conversation Analysis, Classroom Research, Rasch Analysis, Language Assessment

• Overview of the research

  My primary area of expertise is in the assessment of second language pragmatic acquisition. My research involves questions relating to how second language learners in the Japanese setting perceive pragmatic realization in English. I am especially interested in how learners develop interactional competence and in how they utilize visual and auditory cues.
