　また、小学校等における英語授業の調査を通じて、初等英語教育における教授法や、英語の教科化に伴う学習成果・成績評価について分析している。

　さらに、薬局における外国人患者への薬学的ケアとコミュニケーションに関する研究も行っている。多様な言語的・文化的背景を持つ患者に対して、薬剤師がより適切にコミュニケーションを図りながら薬学的ケアを提供するための方策について検討している。

　　The English Laboratory conducts research on promoting continuous improvement in English language proficiency, focusing on learner motivation and learning environments. Its research includes examining the effectiveness of task-based learning (TBL) in vocabulary acquisition and the development of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), as well as conducting practical studies of English classes for learners who lack confidence in their English abilities.

　　The laboratory also investigates English lessons in elementary schools and other educational settings, focusing on pedagogical approaches in elementary English education and the analysis of student achievement and assessment following the introduction of English as a formal school subject.

　　In addition, the laboratory conducts research on pharmaceutical care and communication for international patients in community pharmacies. This research explores how pharmacists can communicate more effectively with patients from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and provide appropriate pharmaceutical care.
