Teaching
I believe teaching is a crucial way to increase people's awareness of languages and linguistics, and it helps theoretical linguistics achieve real world impact.
I have taught various undergraduate- and MA-level linguistics courses at CUHK and UCLA.
I won UCLA Linguistics Department's Distinguished Teaching Award in the 2020-2021 academic year.
