Phd in CIVILIZATIONS OF ASIA AND AFRICA

Research:

My current Ph.D. research focuses on the role detained by Chinese neologisms within the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language, to assess if such important part of Chinese everyday life and communication could improve the students’ learning experience in terms of bettering motivation and study autonomy, besides pragmatic communication. Such research comes fresh within the field of applied linguistics in regard to teaching Chinese FL, with an ambitious aim to bring a new light of innovation into instructional materials and teaching methods.
