Jieun Ahn (안지은) 

Hello, my name is Jieun Ahn. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English and the Program Director of the AI & English Graduate Program at Cyber Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (CUFS). Prior to joining CUFS, I taught Early English Education as a lecturer at Yonsei University. I hold a Ph.D. in Second Language Studies from Michigan State University, where I was awarded a full research assistantship. During my doctoral studies, I worked as a research assistant under the mentorship of Dr. Aline Godfroid, Dr. Susan Gass, and Dr. Paula Winke. 

My research interests involve second language (L2) acquisition, psycholinguistics, L2 reading, young learners, and AI-assisted language learning. For dissertation research, I obtained a personal portable eye-tracker, the Portable Duo (SR research), and set up the first satellite version of the SLS eye-tracking lab. My research articles can be found in journals such as Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, TESOL Quarterly, and Language Learning and Technology among others.
