My name is Rika Ikei. This year I am teaching first and fourth year Japanese classes at University of Oregon. As a teacher I strive to provide a positive and effective learning environment. Language, whether it be first or subsequent, is a lifelong endevour so I strive to endow the skills and experience in language to make my students independent thinkers/learners. In my classes, I find that makeing language fun and applicable to the student makes the language aquisition process a pleasure not a task. Part of this process is cross cultural awareness and appreciation which is integral to language.
