I have been teaching and researching in TESOL contexts in Korea since 2014. I am primarily interested in English for academic purposes, especially as they pertain to L2 writing and digital applications. I believe practice, cooperation and reflection are essential to effective learning, and design class activities to meet these ideals. My current research interests center on communicative tasks in L2 writing contexts, and including communities of inquiry and critical tasks such as feedback and response.

주요 연구

My major research interests regard how class participants interact with each other while working on important tasks in L2 writing contexts. I am particularly interested in teacher and peer feedback and response, and analyzing such discourse in relation to task-completion and revision impact. I am also often interested in how classes use such tools as learning management systems (LMS) to complete interactive tasks, and how this promotes cognitive and social presence.
