Biography

My research experience is mainly situated in instructed second language acquisition and psychology of learning. I completed a PhD in (second language) education from the University of Cambridge, focusing on the integration of positive psychology into writing strategy instruction that fostered positive developmental outcomes in both language learning and psychological well-being. I also worked on written and oral corrective feedback from an interactionist perspective to facilitate second/foreign language speech and grammar development.
