I specialize in Middle English literature, particularly the metrical and rhythmic structures of fourteenth-century alliterative verse. My research examines how prosodic features—such as beat structure, long dips, and extrametrical elements—shape meaning, discourse, and characterization in poems including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Piers Plowman. I focus especially on the rhythmic functions of speech tags and other metrical phenomena that have been understudied in traditional scholarship.
I also explore how alliterative metre developed from Old English to Middle English and how it interacted with the rise of rhyme-based verse traditions. Through this work, I aim to reassess the place of alliterative poetry within the broader history of English verse and to clarify how rhythmic patterns contribute to poetic expression, performance, and interpretation.
In the field of English education, I have recently begun contributing to the development of university-level English textbooks based on authentic ABC News reports (ABC NEWSROOM series), designing materials that integrate vocabulary instruction, reading and listening tasks, and discussion activities grounded in current global issues.
Additionally, drawing on my experience in translation and intercultural communication, I supervise community-based projects in which students produce English tourist guides, maps, exhibition panels, and PR videos in collaboration with local governments. These initiatives connect English education with regional revitalization and experiential learning.
