Dr. Qin earned her Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition from Carnegie Mellon University. Before joining UNG, she taught various levels of Chinese language and culture courses at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Carnegie Mellon University, and Indiana University Bloomington.
Her research in second language acquisition focuses on the assessment and teaching of interlanguage pragmatics. She approaches her work from the perspective of sociocultural psychology, which views pedagogy as foundational to research. Her current project centers on the design and administration of a computerized dynamic assessment of Chinese learners’ ability to understand implied meanings.
