Profile 【 Display / hide

  • In my research, I go back and forth between the Andean Societies of Abya Yala (Latin America) and Yaun mosir (Hokkaido) to follow the contemporary lived dynamics of the indigenous languages (Aymara, Quechua, and Aynu), and also to delve into the rich and complex world of their oral literature. My other research themes include how the indigenous peoples of Qullasuyu (Bolivia) and Peru resisted and adapted to the political and development processes, as well as how written literature has interacted with and responded to the oral literature in these societies. We organize with students study groups on Quechua and Euskera(Basque) language at SFC, and I collaborate in a citizen college with a course on reading the Huarochiri Manuscript, a Quechua registry of myths and practices dating from the Spanish colonial period.

  • Análisis de la situación de la enseñanza del español en el bachillerato en Japón a través de encuestas al profesorado

    Carmen Belén García Bernal, Verónica Prieto, Mayuko Ogura, Rie Takabatake, Mamoru Fujita

    Journal of Foreign Language Education (Keio Research Center for Foreign Language Education)  21   1 - 25 2025.09

    Research paper (bulletin of university, research institution), Corresponding author, Accepted

     View Summary

    The purpose of this article is to provide a deeper understanding of the current state of Spanish language education in secondary schools in Japan. Published studies in Spanish on this topic are extremely scarce, almost nonexistent. This article is part of a broader research project, which will be explained in the first section. Subsequently, we will present an overview of Spanish language education and analyze the impact of the implementation of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in the curricula. Among the various factors influencing second language education, we focused on the role of the teacher of Spanish as a Second Language. A survey was employed as the main research instrument, covering a range of topics, including academic aspects (training and academic background), educational institutions (type of institution, methodological approach, class organization, level of instruction, and subjects taught), and employment conditions (contract type and duration). The findings reveal an eclectic profile, highlighting certain contradictions in teaching methodologies. Additionally, an overview of employment conditions is provided, with most contracts lasting only one year.

    Research paper (scientific journal), Single Work, Lead author, Accepted

     View Summary

    This article focuses on Tsushima Yuko's 1999 collection of short stories, “I”, which has reference to shinyo stories (chants of the deities) of Aynu oral literature, and attempts to trace the dynamics in which such a reference invites the narrative features of oral literature into the novel text and develops a complex system of remembering and creation. The use of two first-person singular personal pronouns, “I” and “I (with dot notation)”, is characteristic in this collection of short stories. Based on a more detailed understanding of Ainu grammar and oral literature, the “I (with dot notation)” used in quotations and reminiscences exhibits complex behaviour in each short story, such as showing ambivalence and oscillation, splitting and diffusing into different narrators in multiple periods, and through dreams becoming indefinite person. This article attempts to clarify each linguistic mode.

    Research paper (bulletin of university, research institution), Single Work, Lead author

     View Summary

    This article starts from the recognition that area studies and language teaching have always had a fragmented and precarious relationship, and explores the possibility of a more fruitful engagement between area studies of the Hispanic world and Spanish language teaching, where various emerging research areas in Spanish applied linguistics and sociolinguistics are important also in terms of area studies of the Hispanic world. This synergy brings new challenges and perspectives to Spanish language teaching. To this end, we will focus on five areas of research: Spanish as pluricentral language, decolonisation and representation, inclusive language, heritage
    language education in immigrant societies, and new speakers of regional and indigenous languages, and
    examine how the latest research trends bring about new interconnections between area studies and language
    education.

    Research paper (bulletin of university, research institution), Single Work, Lead author,  ISSN  2185-7148

     View Summary

    This article forms part of a series of effort by the author to make accessible the oral texts written down in Aynu language by Kannari Matsu, in the notebooks that were passed on to Kindaichi Kyosuke and Chiri Mashiho. Here we publish the prose tale “upas cironnup (white weasel or earmine)” where the main protagonist is this small animal known in Japanese as “okojo” or “ezo itachi,” who becomes aware of the famine in the human world around him where both kamuy (deities) and aynu (humans) live, and sets out to solve the problem. In the introductory section, we lay out the philological details of the text and possible interpretations of the story, followed by an outline of the story in Japanese. After some remarks on the Aynu orthography employed here, we present the main part of this article, which is a page-by-page transcription of the original written Aynu text, followed by a modified text with contemporary Aynu orthography and its translation to Japanese.

     View Summary

    少数言語地域において、博物館は公共の場における言語に関する姿勢を表明する象徴的な意味を持つと考えられる。このパネルでは、異なる地域のどのような博物館において少数言語がどのように使用され、表象されているか、また博物館で少数言語を使うことにより、どのような新たな意味が生まれるかを比較検討する。とりあげるのは、少数言語が用いられる自明性が大きく異なるバスク語、ソルブ語、アイヌ語、フランコプロヴァンス語である。前2言語において、少数言語の使用がいわば自明とされるなかで使用の仕方が問われるのに対して、後2言語では、展示における使用自体が新たな言語的な挑戦となっている。
    ビルバオ(バスク自治州)にあるバスク語解釈センターは、バスク語の「活力と多様性を伝える」ことを目的とした公共施設である。本発表ではその空間においてバスク語がどのように表象・展示されているのかを記述し、批判的に考察する。ソルブ語地域については、ソルブ博物館および野外展示ガイドにおける、ソルブ語を優先してドイツ語と差異化する創造的な二言語使用を考察する。アイヌ語については、複数の博物館や文学館における常設展示および特別展示を例にとりながら、アイヌ語の再活性化に向けたどのような新しい取り組みや限界がそこに示されているかを考察する。「ブレス地方の家」はフランスのブレス地方にある、地域の伝統文化に関する民間のエコミュージアムである。フランコプロヴァンス語がこの博物館でどのように使用・提示されているか、その表象と再活性化に向けた可能性を検討する。
