Dr. Jimin Kahng is an Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics in the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Mississippi.
Research Interests
Dr. Kahng's research interests include second language (L2) speech, including how L2 oral language develops, in what way instruction facilitates the developmental process, and how to assess the development. My recent work has focused on L2 fluency development from its three different perspectives--cognitive, utterance, and perceived fluency.
