Education and Experience/教育・経験 Professor Kobori trained as an English language teacher in Tokyo, Japan, where she studied English language and literature. She has taught in a variety of educational contexts in Japan and overseas, including Ukraine. She holds two master’s degrees from the United Kingdom: an MA in TESOL from Ulster University and an MA in Educational Studies from the University of York, where her work was examined by Prof. Shelagh Rixon and other academic supervisors. She also completed doctoral coursework in English Literature at Tsuda University, Japan. While studying in the UK, she undertook further teacher education training at a teacher training college in Hungary under the supervision of Prof. Annamaria Pinter. Her professional experience includes extensive work with boards of education, academic study groups, and related workshops across primary, secondary, and higher education in Japan. In recent years, she has also developed international and interdisciplinary L2 learning activities related to online and hybrid education within the context of educational technology and digital transformation (DX) in education.
Research Interests/研究関心 Professor Kobori’s research examines the theoretical and practical dimensions of second language learning (SLL), with particular attention to L2 motivation, L2 methodology, and technology-enhanced language education. Her work explores how language education can support diverse learners across different educational contexts in Japan and overseas. She has published guidebooks for primary EFL education in Japan in collaboration with colleagues from the Institute for Research in Language and Culture at Tsuda University. She has also contributed to interdisciplinary research in educational technology, including collaborative work reported in the ITE (Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers) Technical Report with the Research Centre for Computing and Multimedia Studies at Hosei University. Recently, her research has developed towards Society 5.0-oriented education, online and hybrid EFL learning, and cross-national language education. She has been involved in JSRE- and JSPS KAKENHI-supported projects and currently engages in research and educational activities related to educational disparities, sports-related CLIL education and AI/DX-oriented educational innovation, in collaboration with institutions and organisations in Japan and overseas.
