Give you some color
This study investigates issues related to race and racialization among Chinese language teachers in US primary and secondary (K–12) schools.

Set mostly in 2021, when there was a widespread surge of anti‐Asian violence, this mixed‐methods project directs …
Caring is pedagogy
L2 use of pragmatic markers in peer talk
This mixed-methods study investigates how Mandarin L1 and L2 speakers use final-utterance particles to negotiate difference and affect. Utilizing a corpus consisting of spontaneous conversations between American study abroad students and their Chinese peers in shared dorm rooms, the focus here is a set of utterance-final pragmatic particles that are multifunctional in Mandarin spoken discourse. This study combines a corpus-based approach with qua…
Speaking against racism
This study reports on two students of color studying abroad in China and examines the dialectic between their interpretation of American racism and their agency to study in China and speak Chinese.

Existing research exploring study abro…

Focusing on five initially committed learners of Chinese who decide to quit the language during their college freshman year, this study is a critique of the institutional structure that disengages foreign language education in American postsecondary schools. The findings reveal three structural issues that may contribute to the declining enrollments in foreign language classes in American universities, including (a) the ideological separation of …
Lingua francas beyond English
English is often assumed to be the national language in the US and the global language in the world; yet such views fail to address the complex linguistic repertoires of people living in linguistically heterogeneous places even within the US. Spotlighting a southwestern US border town, we provide a critique of both nation-state-language ideology, and of the neoliberal view of English as the global language par excellence. Our research, drawing fr…

Peer Socialization into Gendered L2 Mandarin Practices in a Study Abroad Context
This article reports on the peer socialization of gendered Mandarin practices between three American students and their Chinese roommates in a college dorm in China. Gender is often perceived to be a salient identity category among adult L2 learners overseas. Drawing on the language socialization framework (Ochs and Schieffelin 1984), this study focuses on how gender is constructed and indexed through language as the American students learn to us…
