Research Areas

His research has been focused on computer-assisted language learning, language test development and validation, curriculum and instructional design, and task-based language teaching. His recent research on “Development and Validation of Virtual Interactive Tasks for an Aviation English Assessment” has been benefitted from application of the argument-based approach, evidence-centered design, task-based performance assessment, and 3D virtual environments to develop an interactive aviation English assessment in a virtual environment for non-native English speaking air traffic controllers.
