Bio

I am a PhD student in the Department of Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick. My research interests include English learner motivation and student language use within the English classroom (i.e. Translanguaging) My PhD research will focus on the concept of the L2 motivational self system (ideal L2 self, ought to L2 self, and L2 learning experience), with a particular emphasis on re-conceptualising the "ideal self" among Japanese high school students.

While I don't have many hobbies, I really love watching movies and musicals. Les Misérables is one of my favourite musical and I can't even count how many times I've seen it. I also enjoy traveling, especially to Italy, which I visit every year. The photo is from one of my trips to Tuscany:)
