Younhee Helen Kim joined University of Macau in 2018 as Assistant Professor of English. Before she joined the institution, she has taught at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore as Assistant Professor and a few other universities in Korea as an adjunct. She did her MA and PhD at the department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. Her research interests include Conversation Analysis, Second Language Acquisition, Bilingual Language Acquisition, Children’s interaction, and Teacher Education. Her work in these areas appeared in tier one journals such as Journal of Pragmatics, Applied Linguistics, Journal of Teacher Education and academic handbooks and encyclopedia volumes. Her current research on children’s interaction examines whether and how the interactional patterns in bilingual parent-child interaction influences the emergence of grammatical routines in child speech. The project also attempts to explore the potential of combined use of Conversation Analysis and Corpus Linguistics in a single study that examines a corpus of interaction.
