She completed her PhD and MA degrees in language education at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. Her research pragmatically contributes not only to the second language education of young generation living in the Asian peripheral contexts such as Mongolia and Bangladesh, but also to the post-industrial Asian context such as Japan, providing a pedagogical view to accommodate the multiple co-existences of linguistic diversity in a globalized world. She has authored articles in most prestigious international peer-reviewed journals, such as Journal of Sociolinguistics, International Journal of Multilingualism, Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, World Englishes, Asian Eng­lishes, English Today, International Journal of Multilingual Research, Translanguaging and Translation in Multilingual Contexts and Inner Asia.
