Research Interests
Jae-Eun Park is an associate professor in the Division of Global Studies at Kangnam University. Using a conversation analytic framework, she has worked with Korean conversation data to uncover the mechanisms that underlie human interaction. Her research has widened to understand technology-mediated interactions, with a recent publication examining a newly observed phenomenon of visual references in online conversations. Park has also been interested in analyzing nonnative discourse in and outside second/foreign language classrooms. Her research has covered various topics, including the dichotomy between native and nonnative speakers, as well as the classroom practices of language teachers.
At ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, Park is exploring how conversation analysis can be used in developing an AI-driven conversation program for Korean language learners.Â
