Welcome to join my research team. I aim to create experiential educational opportunities that enrich our students’ research experience and enhance their research skills. My research interest is mainly about Chinese language education in both L1 and L2, particularly in the field of Chinese reading and writing. The study on Chinese language learning is increasing, and I would like to work with you to discover more interesting findings among various groups of students. If you do have similar interests, please do not hesitate to apply the research postgraduate programme of EdUHK. For more communication, please feel free to contact me directly (xliao@eduhk.hk).
