My research is situated within Applied Linguistics, with a primary focus on Chinese language learning, multilingualism, and meaning-making in multilingual societies. Building on my background in Chinese as a Second Language (CSL), my research examines language learning, attitudes, identities, and the ways in which meaning is negotiated across linguistic and cultural contexts. My more recent work extends these interests to discourse and multimodal communication, specialised terminology, translation, and AI-mediated language practices. Across these areas, I am particularly interested in how language mediates learning, shapes understanding, and facilitates the communication of knowledge across different social and technological contexts.
