Research Interests

I am mainly interested in the cognitive resource allocation in language interpreting, including consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting. In the long term, I wish to show how psychological and psycholinguistic studies can inform the development of interpreting studies and training.

Future Research

The project seeking for funding/collaboration: The prosody used in L2 comprehension and production - what does it inform interpreting training and beyond?

The projects in planning include

1. bilingual activation in sentence simultaneous interpreting;
2. the application of psycholinguistic paradigms in sight translation training;
3. the role of shadowing and its implication in interpreting training;
4. smartpen in CI training and research
