“Carry the Day: Aiming to
Enrich English Language and Culture Education at Hiroshima University with
Experiential Approaches” by Russell S. Kabir
To the alumni and prospective students of Hirodai Kyoei, it is my honor
to join the faculty of the Program in English Language and Culture Education.
As my biography likely portends, I am a cognitive scientist with a
yearning for language learning. However, it is not lost on me that almost everything
about my path here is not readily intuitive.
How
does one go from the U.S., to Japan, to France, and back? One part Robert
Frost, some parts John Keats, three parts William Carlos Williams, and plenty
of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, for my money. Did I mention my love for Spitz,
yet? Don’t put me in charge of the canon. I will be the first to add Kusano
Masamune to the list.
I am
aware that I somewhat resemble an irregular verb in this regard, like
the past tense of “cleave”. Clave? Cloven? I am eager to learn your favorite irregular
verbs, too (if they could possibly exist). Apparently, mine is cleft as
in “cleft in twain.” I am willing to wager that this is the right audience for
this task. If not, as previous students might attest, I am big on the wisdom of
idiomatic expressions, and enjoy the thrill of cross-cultural simulations as
approaches to experiential learning. I will take proverbs or false friends,
too, if you catch me in the hallway. Alternatively, you may throw down your
glove and challenge me to a spelling duel. As long as it’s not the word lackadaisical,
one of the words I missed in my youth. Still salty.
My research
grants and projects are focused on everything from foreign language anxiety
management programs and negotiation activities to vocabulary learning, study
abroad, and social dynamics related to the educational sciences. It is my hope
that sharpening our insights and approaches to these areas will bring about the
right amount of sessa takuma to improve the state of English education
in Japan through you—the next generation of well-rounded teachers—who
will carry the day.
At any
rate, I am thrilled for the opportunity to continue to contribute to the rich
history of the School of Education. It is my hope that I can bring my
enthusiasm for evidence-based educational interventions to the fore and consider
it my duty to honor the sacred art and franchise that is teaching. Now in my
eighth year at our university, and tenth in Japan, I am always on the lookout
for the well-being of the student body, too, and will continue doing my best to
take this responsibility with great care.
Onwards and upwards!
Russell Sarwar Kabir, Ph.D.
