Our lab was first established as a research group (The Language Learning and Teaching Research Group) on January 1, 2018. Then, the research group expanded its areas of research and was transformed into a research lab on September 1, 2019. Ever since, our lab has been determined to produce quality research, extend its members’ expertise to the community, provide support to budding researchers and offer relevant training and consultations.
