About me

I hold a Ph.D. in Technology Enhanced Language Learning and an M.Ed. in Educational Technology & TESOL and I am currently Assistant Language Co-ordinator (Mandarin) at LSE where I teach Mandarin Chinese degree and non degree courses. I was awarded a Teaching Excellence Award in 2013. Prior to joining the LSE, I taught EFL in the UK and contributed to the UK’s first distance-learning Chinese course at the Open University. My main research areas are dynamic assessment, eyetracking, online language teaching, and intercultural communicative competence.

I am involved in teaching on the following undergraduate degree programmes, BSc International Relations and Chinese and BSc Language, Culture and Society.

LSE is a centre for the study of the social sciences and this is reflected in its Language Centre.

Our courses focus on language and society, encouraging you to learn how to use language in the contexts you would like to live, study and work in. We teach people to speak languages, but also teach about language (socio-linguistics and intercultural communication) and offer a range of courses on literature and society.

We offer English for Academic Purposes programmes, BSc programmes a range of undergraduate degree courses that can be taken as part of a degree and a range of language options that can be taken outside of a degree programme. All programmes and courses relate language study and support to the fields of interest of social science students.
