Biography: I received my Ph.D. in Instructional Psychology and Technology at Brigham Young University in August 2007 with her research emphasis: Second Language Acquisition (Chinese emphasis). My dissertation topic: An analysis of grammar (syntactic) errors and attrition by adult native English speaking learners of Mandarin as L2. I received an M.A. in Language Acquisition (Chinese Emphasis) from Brigham Young University and a B.A. in Chinese literature and Linguistics, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan.
Interests: My professional interests include second language acquisition, attrition, and pedagogy, and Chinese media course and curriculum design. My interest in integrating multimedia technology into classroom teaching has grown out of my recent experience in designing a project. Because becoming more adept in Mandarin TV news broadcasts is an essential requirement for advanced students, I have collected and designed a set of materials for teaching Chinese through television news especially for them.
