Xinyi Guan

Hello welcome😃! I am a second-year doctoral student in the Second Language Studies program (SLS) at Michigan State University. My research focuses on task-based language teaching (TBLT) and assessment (TBLA), language testing and assessment, language teacher education, and program design. 

Prior to joining the program, I spent four years implementing TBLT in various educational contexts across mainland China. My experience spans working with very young learners aged 2 to 6-, school-aged children aged 6-12, teenagers aged 12-18 , college students, and ethnic minority Uyghur undergraduates. Driven by a commitment to addressing the “Mute English” phenomenon, I am dedicated to advancing the use of TBLT in China.
