The ILE: TESOL Program at Soka University was a truly transformative experience. The program not only shaped my teaching philosophy but also gave me the confidence and skills to navigate the research-driven, dynamic field of language education. The highly experienced faculty and the practical pedagogical expertise they imparted were invaluable in enhancing my real classroom teaching approach. The ILE: TESOL Program at Soka University also equipped me with the technological skills necessary to thrive in today’s tech-driven teaching and learning environment. After graduation, I began a full-time PhD program, and many career opportunities have opened up. I am currently engaged in teaching at some of Japan’s top universities, including Tohoku, Meiji, Hosei, and Waseda Universities. I am deeply grateful for the program’s impact on my academic and professional growth, and I aspire to continue my teaching and research in the future.
