Mark Christianson: I'm currently teaching and developing a new English for Global Communication Program at Keio Yokohama Elementary School. Until recently, I was an instructor of English for academic purposes at a private Japanese university named International Christian University. I'm American and did my undergraduate and graduate work at the UW in Seattle, but have lived in Japan for many years, including most of my childhood and now since '01 as a university instructor. I enjoy helping my students become effective intercultural communicators and critical thinkers. For fun, I play with my kids, hang out with Megumi my wife, train for marathons and triathlons, plow slowly through modern Chinese literature and films (my Chinese is getting rusty of late), and enjoy a good brew or sake with my friends in izakayas here in Tokyo.
