Biography

Professor David D. Qian has served as Professor of Applied Linguistics and Language Assessment in the Department of English, Director of the PolyU-Tsinghua U Centre for Language Sciences, and Deputy Director of the Research Centre for Professional Communication in English. He received his PhD in Second Language Education and Assessment from the Modern Language Centre, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto in 1998. In 2000, he joined the English Department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University after completing a TOEFL 2000 Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Research Division of the Educational Testing Service (ETS), USA, the global leader in educational testing and assessment. At ETS, David worked as a Principal Investigator for two TOEFL 2000 research projects to model the relationship between the breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension in the context of developing new measures for assessing reading performance. Findings from these projects have been published in Language Learning and Language Testing.

With a professional background in psychometrics, narrative inquiry and ethnography, David is interested in multifaceted research in a number of areas in applied linguistics. He has published extensively in a large number of internationally refereed journals, including Assessment in Education: Principle, Policy & Practice, Canadian Modern Language Review, Chinese Journal of Applied Linguistics, Computer Assisted Language Learning, Crosslinks in English Language Teaching, Hong Kong Linguist, Language Assessment Quarterly, Language Learning, Language Testing, Language Testing in Asia, RELC Journal, System, and TESL Canada Journal. David has been a member of editorial boards of several top-tier international journals, including Language Assessment Quarterly, Language Testing, and Reading in a Foreign Language. He has edited (with Alister Cumming) a Special Issue of Language Assessment Quarterly (14, 2) on High-Stakes English Language Testing in China.

David has taught for 40 years in universities and adult education settings in Hong Kong and Mainland China, Canada, and the UK. David has supervised a large number of doctoral and master’s theses. Courses and course components he has taught in recent years include research methods, psycholinguistics and language acquisition, corpus linguistics, educational measurement, and statistics (SPSS) for the Doctor of Applied Language Sciences Programme, and language testing and assessment for MA in English Language Studies.

David co-founded the Asian Association for Language Assessment (AALA) in 2014, served as its Co-President from 2014-2015, and has been the AALA President since January 2016. He has consulted for a number of institutions and government departments, including the Hong Kong Examination and Assessment Authority, Civil Service Bureau, Research Grants Council, Educational Testing Service in the USA, and Language Training and Testing Center in Taiwan.
