Current Research
My PhD project explores in a micro scope of interactional architecture, how peers construct, maintain, reinforce and even breach their relationship in doing multiparty group work in classroom contexts. I mainly use conversation analysis to analyse the interactional data. Meanwhile, I also draw on multimodal analysis to dissect the interactional patterns of vocal and non-vocal activities that influence how participants relate to one another as their interaction unfolds.
