Ms. Hsieh was already working as a full-time English teacher at Neihu Vocational High School before she entered the MA program in 2008 and continued her teaching while she was studying at Taipei Tech. She got interested in corpus linguistics during her study at Taipei Tech and was able to obtain help from corpus linguist Dr. Michael Barlow during his visit to the school for his keynote at the NTUTAPPLINGX 2009 conference. She later applied corpus linguistics theories to her teaching experiences and authored her MA thesis “Vocabulary and Collocations in EFL Textbooks vs. Authentic Materials: A Corpus Study”. She continues to teach at Neihu Vocational High School now.
