Postgraduate students are motivated by their research projects, their overall intellectual development, and a vision for a career. Supervision thus requires focus and steady mentorship, with the goal of helping to drive their research forward and to help them realize results.  Here, results are not only limited to the completion of the thesis, but also to the cultivation of a ‘research life’. In this way, I act as a role model on how to think, read, write, and speak on scholarly matters, and take mentorship seriously as a shared process through teaching, inspiring, but also listening.

As supervisors, we need to understand each student’s unique personal and learning background, in order to offer them freedom to explore, ask, and experiment, before they shape, focus, and sharpen. As a recognition of my effort in postgraduate supervision, I was awarded the President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Research Supervision at HKBU in 2019.

My areas of interest include interlanguage phonetics and phonology, third language phonology, foreign accent and intelligibility, and computer-assisted/ corpus-based pronunciation teaching and learning. Over the past years, my research team has endeavored to create and promote the innovative corpus-based pronunciation pedagogy at EdUHK and beyond. Three corpus-based learning and teaching websites were created: English Pronunciation, Mandarin Pronunciation, and English Spontaneous Speech, where you may find some insights on the incorporation of digital resources into teaching and research. I look forward to exchanging views and exploring on these topics and issues with you!

Welcome to the Department of Linguistics and Modern Language Studies of The Education University of Hong Kong! Being a young department, we have successfully built strengths in language studies and education in the past decade.I started my research interests in language technology in the computer assisted language learning (CALL) and mobile assisted language learning (MALL) contexts. I have also developed a strong interest in corpus linguistics, especially the corpus applications in language education. In addition, I have created two corpus websites: (1) the Parallel EAP Corpora for research purposes and (2) the Corpus-Aided Platform for Language Teachers (CAP) for teaching purposes. In recent years, I have led our EdUHK corpus team and created a new language pedagogy: corpus-based language pedagogy (CBLP). Currently, my research work focuses on how to enhance students’ EAP skills with corpus support and how to help pre- and in-service language teachers develop CBLP and their professional knowledge for language teaching.

Hello, my name is Ju, and I’m an Associate Head and Assistant Professor at the Department of English Language Education. I’m interested in research into Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) and Positive Psychology in Second Language Acquisition. I coined the conceptually original term ‘IDLE' and I’ve been researching on how today’s young students use technology to acquire language autonomously outside of the classroom. I’ve also looked at how important it is to foster positive psychological traits in students (e.g., grit, resilience, and growth mindset) and build a healthy school environment. My graduate students and I have continuously advocated for the integration of both the IDLE and the positive psychology paradigms into language classrooms and teacher education programs. I’m especially interested in identifying and resolving actual educational challenges, as well as supporting and serving people in genuine need. Let’s work together if you’re interested in these issues.
