Weiming Liu
Dr

I am an assistant professor at the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies in Dublin City University. My research interests include foreign language teaching and learning and language teacher education. I am particularly interested in pedagogy and assessment in the context of teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
I welcome applications from prospective PhD students interested in the areas of foreign language teaching and learning, especially concerning Chinese, English and Russian. I am also interested in working with students on research that focuses on language teacher education and continuing professional development for language teachers.
