I am a Lecturer specialising in language and literacy education. I mostly conduct ethnographic research on investigating  different socio-cultural aspects of students and teachers. Currently, I am leading ethnographic research projects on investigating Taiwan's bilingual language policy and planning. I am also involved in other research projects that are related to pedagogical translanguaging and multilingual teachers.
