Dr Phoebe Lin has been awarded an Invitational Fellowship for Research in Japan. The Invitational Fellowships, sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), provide overseas researchers who have an excellent record of research achievements with an opportunity to conduct collaborative research, discussions, and opinion exchanges with researchers in Japan.
During her two-month stay in Japan during November and December 2022, Dr Lin spent her time at Yokohama City University, where she worked with researchers from across Japan to explore the potential of developing an automatic system for scoring learner intonation. During her stay, Dr Lin delivered lectures at three universities, including Yokohama City University, the University of Tokyo, and the University of Tsukuba. She also interviewed local teachers and learners of English and gained invaluable insights into the English language learning environment in Japan.
Dr Lin shared that the biggest benefits from the Fellowship included being provided with opportunities for exchanges with international researchers and also receiving great inspiration for her upcoming projects.
