I joined the University of Hong Kong in 2009. Prior to joining the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, I taught Korean as a foreign language at several institutions in Korea – Korean Language and Culture Center, Korea University, Ewha Womans University and Ganada Korean Language Institute since 2000.
Nowadays my research interest focuses on the instructed second language acquisition, interactions between input and output in the SLA and Korean inter-language aspects from Chinese/Cantonese native speaker learning Korean language.
