I am a Lecturer specialising in TESOL, educational design and educational technology. I have engaged with different research methods and tools, such as online surveys and SPSS for quantitative analysis, and semi-structured interviews and Nvivo for qualitative research. Some important theories that I have worked with are Bourdieuian habitus, field and capital, Communities of Practice, and theories around internationalising curriculum and quality assurance for learning. Currently, I am leading research projects on Taiwan's Bilingual 2030 Initiative and theorising educational technology as a field of inquiry. I welcome collaborations in the aforementioned areas.
