She received her BA and MA from University of Malaya, and her Ph.D. from Fudan University, China. Much of her research concerns language use and language maintenance, including Family Language Policy, in multilingual communities. Her other main interest is language acquisition – especially in the area of technology-enhanced language learning. She was a Visiting Academic Researcher at Lancaster University (UK) from 2015-2016, and a Visiting Research Fellow at University of Glamorgan (now University of South Wales, UK) in 2011.
