My research, using a mixed-methods approach, specialises in the area of the educational and socio linguistics with a clear focus on teaching English as an International language (EIL) and World Englishes The basis of the argument in my publications rests on the evaluation of teachers’ awareness of and attitudes towards the inherently evolving pluricentric nature of English. I have argued for developing teacher training courses which inform the current socio and linguistic landscape of English and a reassessment of the notion of what types of English competency are valid in the era of globalization where English is a means of intercultural communication. My secondary area of research focuses on examination of English policy and major proficiency tests from World Englishes perspectives. I am also currently undertaking research on the sociolinguistic profile of South Korea. The focus of this project is the descriptive analysis of a variety of data, which seeks to identify sociolinguist profiles of English use amongst university students in South Korea.
