I have a strong interest in using diverse methods to investigate L2 learners doing different language tasks from cognitive perspectives such as their cognitive processes, working memory, and attention. In addition, I am interested in studying individual differences among L2 learners, such as their language learning strategies, affective aspects, and motivation. When I attended MA Applied Linguistics programme in UCL, I joined in the IATEFL Re-SIG Supported Event: MA ELT Quick Fire Presentation Event 2021 with my MA dissertation, which investigates self-regulated learning strategies in Chinese students’ academic writing. My report has been posted on the IATEFL ReSIG ELT research newsletter Issue 37, 2022.
