Biography

Richard J. Sampson (PhD, Griffith University) has been working in the Japanese education context for more than 20 years. He is currently an Associate Professor at Rikkyo University, teaching courses in English communication and language learning psychology. His research focuses on the social and dynamic emergence of language learner and teacher psychology by drawing on complexity thinking. He uses action research approaches to explore experiences of classroom language learning from the perspectives of students and teachers. Richard has published widely in international journals and is the author of "Complexity in Classroom Foreign Language Learning Motivation: A Practitioner Perspective from Japan" (Multilingual Matters, 2016), and co-editor (with Richard Pinner) of "Complexity Perspectives on Researching Language Learner and Teacher Psychology" (Multilingual Matters, 2021).
