Self Introduction

I am an associate professor at the Department of English Education at the Iwate University Faculty of Education. My primary job is to prepare students in the faculty to become English teachers at junior/senior high schools or to teach English in elementary schools. I first came to Iwate University in 2003 after living in Hokkaido for four years. My hometown is Boston, Massachusetts. I ambitiously made this site about 10 years to provide links to my projects and classes, but, alas, from facebook to twitter to blogs to academia and researchgate, there seem to be too many mediums out there for me to update.

岩手大学教育学部 英語教育科の准教授であるジェームズ・ ホールといいます。私は岩手大学で小学校・中学校・高校の教員になりたい学生に教えています。学生の授業を担当しております。 私は、平成15年に岩手大学にきました。その前、4年間北海道に住んでいました。私の出身はアメリカのボストン市であります。私は10年前、高い目標を持ってこのページを作成致しましたが、それ以来facebook、twitter、academia、researchgateが現れて閉まって、手が回らなくなりました。このページで、学生の学習に役立つリンクを貼ることにした。
