Anning Yang

I completed my Master’s degree in Linguistics at Lancaster University. I have been educated in China, South Korea and the UK, highly proficient in speaking Mandarin, English, Korean and Cantonese. I have rich overseas study and work experience, in particular working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

My research interest lies in the area of literacy studies, including bi/multilingual literacies and academic literacies, in particular academic English writing. Drawing on literacy as a social practice, I am particularly interested in exploring how this theory can shape our understanding of the role of reading and writing in multilingual context as well as in academic context.

Research overview: My main research interests are: 1) Bilingual and multilingual literacies (from sociolinguistics perspectives) 2) Academic literacies (in particular academic English writing) 3) Digital literacies (e.g., how people creatively use their linguistic repertoire and other semiotic resources to make meaning in their social interaction) 4) Translanguaging (language choice and identity)
