I wish to apply for the position of principal lecturer in the ELI. As a sixth year member of the ELI I have a vested interest in contributing to the growth and evolution of the department.
I highly value the ELI, SALC and Kanda University and feel very fortunate to be a part of the program. During my six years with the ELI I have learned much of how the program works and as a coordinator I had the opportunity to help incoming lecturers. This opportunity has given me a clear perspective of how the ELI can serve new lecturers in the years to come. I have seen the ELI program organically evolve through the strength of its lecturers and the dedicated students at Kanda University. It is this uniqueness of curriculum, research, and administration that kindles my continued interest in the program.

In both my current time with the ELI and past teaching and management positions I have enjoyed problem solving and working as a team to strengthen the community. In the ELI I have coordinated the Media, and IC project groups, contributed to the CALL group, and led the Professional development committee. These roles have allowed me to design curriculum, lead orientations, redesign digital platforms and servers, actively support lecturers, organize peer workshops and improve the PD website and resources. Also, before joining the ELI I was Head Teacher at Kaplan Colleges in New York. In this role I acted as administration for the staff and student body. Outside these practical roles I have administered, presented and published on research both domestically and abroad in the following fields; CALL, Multimodality, Social Neuroscience, Media, Learner Autonomy, and Linguistics.

In the role of principal lecturer I would be able to continue my work done as coordinator in designing the core curriculum and learner outcomes. Due to my background in web design and writing the Tech Talk column for IATEFL I would also be able to contribute to technological solutions in streamlining the ELI. I feel that between these practical skills and my management experience and research I have the right background and appreciation of the positions.
