Specialist Chinese
Welcome to new students in a Chinese focussed degree
Hello from Sheffield! My name is Dr Lucille Han and I am the coordinator of the Chinese Language Programme you are taking in a couple of weeks. With Welcome Week fast approaching you must be excited to start the first chapter of your new life!
If you have studied Chinese language previously, you may be able to take an advanced language pathway - please speak to Dr Lucille Han if you think that this applies to you.
Meet the Team
Lucille Han is the Chinese Language Lead. Dr. Han joined the School of East Asian Studies in January 2011 after completing her Ph.D in applied linguistics at the University of Leeds.
Dr. Han’s main research interests are topics related to second language acquisition, especially second language listening. She looks at the differences between classroom listening and real-life listening, mainly from a sociolinguistic perspective.
