Educational Activities
Until April 2007, I taught Spanish as a second foreign language (beginner and intermediate levels), special seminars, and a foundational seminar in thesis writing in Japanese, primarily at Kanagawa Prefectural College of Foreign Languages. Since April 2007, I have been teaching Spanish as a second foreign language (beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels) at Sophia University. I also serve as the coordinator for the university’s Spanish classes offered as a second foreign language, creating standardized syllabi and standard exams. Additionally, I teach a graduate-level course on Spanish teaching methodology. Concurrently, I teach Spanish (beginner, intermediate, and intensive courses) at Waseda University’s School of International Liberal Studies and other institutions.
Research Activities
I have authored Spanish textbooks for university courses as well as self-study materials for the general public. In 2003, 2005, and 2010, I was responsible for NHK’s Spanish radio program. I have also worked in editing and writing dictionaries. Until 2012, I participated in group research focused on the selection of basic Spanish vocabulary using computers. From 2014 to 2018, I led a group in curriculum development research on German, French, and Spanish education as second foreign languages at the university level. My current central research theme is the state of Spanish language education in Japan. I am developing a corpus of Spanish textbooks published since the 19th century to study teaching materials and the compilation of Spanish language education resources.

Revista Internacional de Lenguas Extranjeras / International Journal of Foreign Languages, (21) 1-24, Nov 15, 2024 Peer-reviewedSince the Japanese people’s first encounter with the Spanish language in the 16th century, the teaching and learning of Spanish has been evolving in response to the needs of each era. Despite numerous historical challenges, interest in the Spanish language and everything related to it has increased over the years. This article examines the situations of differing historical periods to better understand the objectives for which Spanish has been studied, as well as the numerous types of teachers, students, and commonly used methodologies. To do this, various academic articles and books offering testimonies from people who lived through those periods are examined. The corpus developed by this article’s author, which includes textbooks published since the early 20th century, will also be analyzed in this article.The initial contact with the Spanish language in the 16th century was through missionary work. After a stagnation in language studies due to a period of isolationism, the need to pursue Spanish as a language resumed in the 20th century for the purposes of foreign trade and migration. The idea of learning a foreign language to enrich general culture also became important in the 20th century. The change in the type of students greatly influenced learning objectives and methodologies.We are now in a transitional period with the emergence of new technologies. However, it is important to know our history in order to reflect on the direction which Spanish teaching and learning should take in the future.
