Yunchuan Chen, Assistant Professor of the Practice of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

Yunchuan Chen

My research interests are experimental approaches to grammars, L2 acquisition and heritage languages. My research projects so far include Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Tibetan, Thai and Nuosu Yi. I am also interested in how to teach/learn foreign languages effectively with meaning-based approaches.
