AboutAbout the lab
Viewing society anew through literature, theater, and film
Koizumi Lab investigates how the problems of contemporary society are examined and questioned in literature, theater, and film.
Its specialty is early modern English drama, especially Shakespeare's plays and the films based on them.

*Illustrative imageUsing Film in English Education
Films are used as teaching material in English classes. Using scripts from scenes where the story takes a major turn, students practice overlapping and shadowing, speaking aloud at the same speed and with the same emotion as the characters.
*Illustrative imageTutoring for Academic Writing
The lab works on “tutoring,” which is counseling specialized in writing. It studies methods that help writers notice problems themselves through dialogue and become independent writers.
*Illustrative imageShakespeare's Plays and Film
Besides films based on Shakespeare's plays, the lab analyzes works that seem unrelated at first glance, such as superhero comic-book films, to trace how Shakespeare has been carried on in later works.
