Profile

I joined 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Sheffield in August 2021 after teaching Japanese language at 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Manchester, 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Salford and Liverpool John Moores 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ.

Originally from Tokyo, I have a broad working experience in education and in the manufacturing industry, both of which inform my teaching practice.

Qualifications

BEd (Yokohama National 9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂ)

MEd (9 1Ãâ·Ñ°æÏ of Manchester)

For my MEd dissertation, I carried out research on bilingualism, focusing on Japanese-English bilingual children and their cognitive development in comparison to monolingual children in England.

Teaching activities

Yumi will contribute to our Japanese language programme.
