Christian W. Chun
Christian W. Chun received his Ph.D. in Second Language Education from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto in 2010. His work addresses the intersections between critical literacy, functional grammar approaches, multimodality, and academic discourses in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) teaching and learning. His research has been published in several leading peer-reviewed journals such as Language Assessment Quarterly, the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, and the Journal of English for Academic Purposes. In addition, his doctoral dissertation was shortlisted for the 2010 Christopher Brumfit PhD Thesis Award for “significant and original contributions” to the field of language teaching and learning. His research and teaching draw on his extensive experience in English language teaching spanning nearly 20 years. His forthcoming book, entitled “Discourse Itineraries in an EAP Classroom: Transforming the Everyday”, will be published by Multilingual Matters in 2013.
