Personal profile
I received my B.A. in English Language and Culture from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, M.Sc. in Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition from Carnegie Mellon University. I was Assistant Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong before joining The University of Nottingham Ningbo China. My research is in applied linguistics, with specializations in computer-assisted language learning, Chinese-English bilingual literacy development, and corpus linguistics and quantitative linguistics. The topics I have been working with typically reflect the interplay of linguistics and cognitive theories and the complexity of language learning phenomena.
