Self introduction	I was born in Osaka in December 1957. In Kobe City University of Foreign Studies, I studied current English and performed a role in Thornton Wilder's English plays, The Skin of Our Teeth and The Matchmaker. After graduation, I worked as an English language instructor for Amagasaki City Senior High School (13 years) and Osaka Aoyama Junior College (7 years). I've been teaching English in Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine since April 2000. Conducting all my courses in the CALL room, I try to enrich the contents of my lessons and improve my teaching method. I'm always trying to conduct classes where all my students can acquire English ability which will help them to survive this globalization age.
