I am interested in second language classroom research, particularly computer game-based language learning under CALL. I have investigated how computer games can influence students’ English narrative writing, speaking and vocabulary acquisition. My previous studies have indicated that computer games can increase students’ learning motivation, while a classroom environment with teacher scaffolding is needed to ensure learning efficiency. Currently, I am working on developing a mobile game that integrates both vocabulary learning and evaluation. My other research interests also include natural language processing and English-Chinese translation and interpreting.
