Coming from a tiny, lovely island in China, Chaoqun is currently a PhD student concentrating on applied linguistics under the supervision of Pavel Trofimovich. She received her bachelor’s degree from Nanjing Agricultural University (China) and her master’s degree from University College London (UK). She then worked full-time at Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a research assistant. Her research interests include second language pronunciation acquisition, instruction, assessment, and sociolinguistic aspects of second language acquisition. Chaoqun enjoys reading, handcrafting, and singing, and she’s a dog person. She volunteers at a local dog rescue center and she herself owns two dogs.
