Research Topic
Learning a foreign language is not just about the differences between your native language and the new one; it also involves how factors like your emotions, beliefs, and the world around you affect your ability to learn.　You might think things like, 'I want to learn, but I can't keep going,' 'I'm working hard, but I don't seem to improve,' or 'Why do I even have to study English?' I have looked into these concerns from both a social and psychological perspective to better understand how we learn a foreign language.

Message
Learning is exploring plausible reasoning for ‘Why?’, but not finding a correct answer for it. Considering previous studies, you further investigate, think, and come to your own conclusion. Such a process is the essence of learning. Why don’t you pursue your academic interests within IGS?
