Jieun Ahn (안지은) 

Hello, my name is Jieun Ahn. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English and the Head Professor of the AI & English Graduate Program at Cyber Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (CUFS). Prior to joining CUFS, I taught Early English Education as a lecturer at Yonsei University. I hold a Ph.D. in Second Language Studies from Michigan State University, where I was awarded a full research assistantship. During my doctoral studies, I worked as a research assistant under the mentorship of Drs. Aline Godfroid, Susan Gass, and Paula Winke. 

My research interests involve second language (L2) acquisition, psycholinguistics, L2 reading, young learners, and AI-assisted language learning. For dissertation research, I obtained a personal portable eye-tracker, the Portable Duo (SR research), and set up the first satellite version of the SLS eye-tracking lab. My research articles can be found in journals such as Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, TESOL Quarterly, and Language Learning and Technology among others.
