Younhee KIM

Introduction

Younhee Kim joined University of Macau in 2018 as Assistant Professor of English. Before she joined the institution, she has taught at National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and a few other universities in Korea. She did her MA and PhD at the department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa. Her research interests include Conversation Analysis, Development of Interactional Competence, Parent-Child interaction, and Teacher Education. Her work in these areas appeared in tier one journals such as Journal of Pragmatics, Applied Linguistics, Research on Language and Social Interaction, Journal of Teacher Education, Pragmatics, Text & Talk, and academic handbooks and encyclopedia volumes.

Recently, she is interested in examining how emotion display is used as a resource for negotiation in parent-child interaction and intersects with establishing deontic authority.
