I’m a PhD candidate in the Second Language Acquisition (SLA) Doctoral Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before beginning the program in 2025, I received a Fulbright scholarship through the Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) program and taught Korean at Michigan State University after earning my Master’s degree in Applied Linguistics at Korea University.
Academically, I’m interested in a typological approach to second and third language acquisition, particularly in analyzing interlanguage errors that appear in multilingual learners of Korean as a foreign language (KFL). During my PhD studies, I also hope to apply this line of research to real classroom settings to better understand the differences between human and technological feedback on interlanguage errors. I aim to explore what limitations still exist and how technology can support language learning in this area.
