JOHN RUCYNSKI on Bridging the Humor Barrier
DEEP IN JAPAN
03/08/24 • 74 min
In this episode, we invite Professor John Rucynski back to discuss his book, Bridging the Humor Barrier: Humor Competency Training in English Language Teaching, and more generally the topic of joking in Japan. John is an associate professor at the Center for Language Education at Okayama University. His main research interest is exploring the role of humor in foreign language acquisition and intercultural communicative competence. In addition to editing two volumes about this passion, he has written numerous articles and given conference presentations around the world. His mission going forward is to at least slightly disprove the maxim that “Nothing is as unfunny as trying to explain why something is funny.” To learn more about John and his work, check out the following books and articles:
- Bridging the Humor Barrier: Humor Competency Training in English Language Teaching (Rowman & Littlefield; with Caleb Prichard)
- New Ways in Teaching with Humor (TESOL Press)
- Is This Thing On? Teacher Views of Incorporating Humor Into Online Language Classes (The Language Teacher, with Peter Neff)
- L2 Learners' Ability to Recognize Ironic Online Comments and the Effect of Instruction (System; with Caleb Prichard)
- Implementing Humor Instruction into English Language Teaching (English Teaching Forum; with Caleb Prichard)
- The English Classroom as “Warai no ba”: Instructor Views on Humor and Language Learning in Japan (International Journal of Educational Research; with Peter Neff)
- Second Language Learners’ Ability to Detect Satirical News and the Effect of Humor Competency Training (TESOL Journal; with Caleb Prichard)

The outro was American Joke Man by JAM. Don't know who Spalding Gray is? You're not alone. I thought John was referring to a crayon color. For context, check out his 1987 masterpiece, Swimming to Cambodia.

Josh: Returning Home After 5 Years in Japan
DEEP IN JAPAN
03/26/22 • 53 min
In this episode, I speak with Josh Hawley, a close friend who will soon be returning to the US after a five-year stint in Japan. This is Josh's second stay in Japan, the first being as a US Navy sailor back in the late 1990s, at which time he met his ex-wife and had a son, both of whom he remains in close contact with today. While in Japan, Josh spent over a year teaching in Tateshina, and during that time we spent a great many hours together hiking Nagano's gorgeous peaks and taking long walks around town together with Den, the doge.
