Research Interests

As a PhD student, my research focuses on the integration of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Specifically, I am interested in how AI-driven tools can personalize language instruction, enhance learner engagement, and support teachers in delivering targeted feedback. My research seeks to understand both the pedagogical impact and practical implications of using AI in TESOL, including how AI can address diverse learner needs, foster intercultural communication skills, and streamline assessment practices.
