Vera Hanaoka<\/strong>, a PhD<\/abbr> student in Japanese language and linguistics<\/a> in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures<\/a> of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a>, was selected as the Kobe College Corporation Japan Education Exchange Graduate Fellow<\/a> for 2018–19. She is the only recipient of this nation-wide competition for $30,000.<\/p>\n

Hanaoka says, “I\u2019m honored that I was chosen for this generous fellowship and am excited to pursue my dream of doing research in Japan on the identities of advanced learners of Japanese.”<\/p>\n

Hanaoka, who specializes in Japanese language pedagogy and discourse analysis, explains that identity construction is the dynamic process in which speakers\u2019 identities are jointly-created in spoken interaction through the language that they use. For example, the use of rough or coarse language can construct a masculine identity and the use of delicate language can construct a feminine identity.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Kobe fellowship, she received the 2018–19 Japanese Language Scholarship in the amount of $5,000 from the Aurora Foundation. The monetary support from these awards will help her goal to earn a PhD<\/abbr> in spring 2021.<\/p>\n

Hanaoka has an MA<\/abbr> in teaching Japanese as a foreign language from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and an MA<\/abbr> in Japanese linguistics from UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
