Abstract

This chapter presents a dual perspective on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in Japan, drawing from the author's roles as an English lecturer and academic development (AD) researcher at two higher education institutions. Recognising that SoTL is interpreted differently across global contexts—from classroom inquiry to rigorous educational research—this chapter explores SoTL within the Japanese context through a combination of local insights and personal experiences. This chapter seeks to broaden the inclusivity of the SoTL community by reflecting on ways to enhance teaching and learning practices. It aims to serve as a resource for educators considering engagement with SoTL, providing insights into the unique professional pathway taken by the author. Participation in this project, which highlights SoTL in the Asian region, offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to ongoing community discussions.
