Research Focus Area

My research interests include:
(1) Phonetics and Phonology: How speech sounds are produced and how they categorically pattern in a language & in the mind.
(2) Language acquisition: How young children come to acquire their first language (the development of their competence through storing, retrieving & organizing the sound systems of their language(s); how they produce & combine these sounds when they speak including their speech developmental errors, as well as speech langiage disorders.
(3) Second language teaching: I am also interested in child/adult second language teaching, learning and pedagogy (including material development for 2nd language learners)
