Both sociolinguistics and applied linguistics are my research areas. In sociolinguistics, although I am particularly interested in gender talk using discourse analysis, those who are interested in sociolinguistics in general such as English varieties, social dialects, politeness and so forth are welcome. In applied linguistics (TESOL), I am interested in learner’s motivation in particular. However, I am happy to supervise those who are interested in TESOL in general such as developing English curriculum, learner’s learning strategies, etc are also welcome.
