Research
I have carried out psycholinguistic research; My academic interests include reading acquisition, vocabulary acquisition, and language and thought. In particular, I have been interested in the effects of first language on second or foreign language acquisition.  
Educational Practice

In the undergraduate program, I teach Introduction to TESOL, TESOL Methodology, Seminar in Bilingualism and Bilingual Education, and Seminar in English Language Education.  In the graduate program, I teach TESOL Methodology, Appliled Linguistics Research Methodology, and Advanced Seminar in Second Language Acquisition/Psycholinguistics.
