I am interested in the use of modality and its disciplinary variation in learner academic writing. I believe in collaboration between learner corpus and second language acquisition study may be harnessed to improve our communication between researchers and practitioners. I have a unique perspective teaching students ranging from preschool children and undergraduates. I’ve taught English, Mandarin, and linguistic BA modules in face-to-face sessions and on various online platforms since 2018. I am also an influencer with 15,000 followers on Chinese social media Weibo. As a researcher, a teacher, and an influencer, I am keen to collaborate with industries and researchers to promote the academic findings to a wider audience such as teachers, students, and EdTech companies.
