Research Interests

Our mission is to empower learners to become confident, autonomous language users throughout their lives and across all life contexts. We envision learning not as a classroom-bound activity, but as a continuous and meaningful part of a person's digital, social, and professional worlds.

• Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)

  • To achieve this, we co-design human-centric, lifewide learning ecosystems with educational and industry partners. Here, we critically leverage emerging technologies like GenAI to create inclusive, authentic environments that support learning across the diverse contexts of a learner's life. 

• Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE)

  • Building directly on this foundation, our IDLE research validates and harnesses the power of informal learning. We translate the "hidden curriculum" of digital practices (e.g., gaming, social media) into practical resources and teacher development programs, helping educators bridge the classroom with students' digital lives to foster lifelong autonomous learning.

• Social Impact

  • The ultimate aim of our work is tangible, equitable impact. We develop scalable, open-access tools and evidence-based frameworks specifically designed to support under-resourced communities, ensuring every learner has the opportunity to become a lifelong and lifewide language learner.
