She established Japanese Language Major at TUJ in Fall 2010. Since then, she started conducting her research on "Academic Japanese" and its relevance in university curricula. Before joining TUJ, she taught Japanese, sociolinguistics, and contrastive linguistics in Taiwan for five years. She is a linguist specializing in discourse analysis and cognitive linguistics while she's actively engaged in language education. In discourse analysis, she applies cognitive linguistic approaches to literary texts to delve into a narrative construal. Her approach—a composite framework of grounding and deixis—is an analytical tool to examine both the textual and contextual, and the macro- and micro-structure of a literary text.
