Welcome!

🌟 Bio:

My name is W. Y. Kenneth Li. While I go by Kenneth, I purposely use Kenneth Li as my surname in academic publications so that my works are more easily and consistently identified when others cite them. I am currently a fully-funded PhD student in Second Language Studies at Michigan State University (USA)🇺🇸. I received my MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition with Distinction in Overall and Thesis from University of Oxford (UK)🇬🇧. Prior to starting my PhD journey, I worked as a full-time research assistant on funded projects at The University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong)🇭🇰.

👨‍🎓 Research interests:

  • Vocabulary acquisition
  • Multiword sequences
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Second language processing
  • Technology-enhanced language learning

I am particularly interested in using experiments with 🧠 psycholinguistic measures of reaction times (RTs) and eye-tracking to examine the cognitive mechanisms of vocabulary acquisition.

In my free time, you may find me working out at the gym💪. I am also into travelling✈️. I have lived in or visited 25 countries (e.g., Iceland, Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand).
