Personal profile

Dr. Ruth Wong is an assistant professor at the Department of English Language Education. She joined the university in 2005 and has published research articles in international journals as well as several textbooks and teaching resources for schools in Hong Kong.

Research interests

My research focuses on language teacher education, motivation, and second language learning processes. I examine socio-cognitive and affective mechanisms influencing student-teachers, including self-directed learning, resilience, and willingness to communicate. My work increasingly explores AI-supported learning, intercultural communication, and technology-enhanced pedagogy within ESL/EFL contexts.

External Appointments

I serve extensively in external academic and professional roles, including examiner and advisor positions across universities and government bodies. I contribute to EDB committees, SCOLAR vetting panels, and language qualification assessments, ensuring standards in teacher education and language policy. I act as external examiner, reviewer, and consultant for higher education programmes, accreditation exercises, and textbooks. Additionally, I engage with NGOs and international organisations, providing expertise in English language education, curriculum development, and assessment, supporting regional and global educational advancement.
