ハウウェル ピーター Peter HOWELL
I was born on 21 January, 1960. My identity is regional and cultural rather than national. I come from a Presbyterian family in Northern Ireland. I studied French and German in Scotland, and also trained as a teacher of French and German in Belfast, and only became interested in English as a Foreign Language after experience as an assistant teacher in France and Austria. I taught speaking and listening classes in a large education faculty in Turkey between 1988 and 1993, and began my connection with Hiroshima University after completing a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics at Edinburgh University. I worked as a full-time English teacher at the Prefectural University of Hiroshima in Mihara from 2000 to 2012.

研究上のモットーResearch Motto
I am interested in existential and postmodern approaches to foreign language learning. Existential philosophy stresses personal freedom, choice and responsibility. Postmodernism looks critically at meta-narratives - scientific, political, ethical - and prioritizes the creation of individual meaning and enjoyment.
授業指導上のポリシーTeaching Policy
My teaching philosophy is autonomy in community. Foreign language classes should principally be venues where learners can receive stimulus from a more advanced learner (the teacher) or native speaker, and where they can interact face-to-face with other learners, thereby experiencing community. Lessons are in most cases only indirectly related to language acquisition, and less important in that respect than autonomous learning outside the classroom.
