I am a Lecturer at the University of South Australia. I have been involved in a wide range of research on aspects of languages teaching and learning, including languages education pedagogy, curriculum design, assessing student outcomes and particularly on issues in teaching and learning Chinese language. I have been involved as a researcher and professional development provider for a number of federally funded, collaborative research projects through the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures at UniSA (1998-2014).
