Qianqian Zhou is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Linguistics, Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University.

Her research projects have focused primarily on ESL/EFL/CFL learners’ willingness to communicate in a classroom setting, looking at its emergence and fluctuation from a Complex Dynamic Systems Theory perspective.
