My Records and Stories
Links where I develop my research ideas
I as a researcher take a big step forward in challenging taken-for-granted neoliberal and monolingual theories, practices, and pedagogies in where we use and educate languages. Researching language and society mostly in Korean contexts, I have explored the emerging movements (narrative, critical, discursive, multilingual, cultural turns) to see (critical) applied linguistics in a new light. My publications cover a range of interconnected topics and research methodologies:
(1) (critical) language testing (test development, validation, high-stakes policies, sociopolitics of testing), (2) (critical) discourse analysis, conversation analysis, (3) language governmentality, linguistic entrepreneurship, language ideologies and subjectivities. (4) language use and social identities, (5) critical language awareness, critical literacy, language rights, linguicism (linguistic discrimination), (6) languges in the global marketplace (e.g., issues of McCommunication, verbal hygiene), multi-/plural turns in the regimes of language, from monolingualism to lingua franca, translingual, metrolingual, ecological practice, (7) language in the media, (social) semiotics and cultural studies, (8) storytelling and narrative studies (spoken and story grammar, pedagogy and assessment in story-telling, narrative inquries).
