Introduction
Scott received his Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics from the University of Auckland. Since 2019, he has been serving as the Deputy Programme Coordinator of the Bachelor of Arts (English Studies) and Bachelor of Education (English Language Education) Double Degree Programme. At CUHK, he has taught or is currently teaching the courses Language Assessment and Evaluation, Spoken and Written Discourse for English Language Teaching, Special Topics in English Language Teaching (Second Language Pragmatics), Studying Second Language Learners and Classrooms, and English Language Teaching Project Report.
Research Areas
Scott’s main research areas include second language motivation, learner engagement, and task-based language teaching. He is particularly interested in the intersection of learner psychology and instructed second language acquisition, with much of his research involving attempts to capture how learners feel, think, and behave during second language task performances. Scott’s publications have appeared in such journals as TESOL Quarterly, Language Teaching Research, Modern Language Journal, and ELT Journal. He is currently co-editing a book entitled The Affective Dimension in Task-Based Language Teaching: The Role of the Learner (Routledge, Second Language Acquisition Research Series) with Craig Lambert and Gavin Bui, which is expected to be published in late 2022.
