The topic of Dr. Yu Feng's study was rather unique-ocusing on the different methods used by teachers to support engagement and dialogue with their students particularly when focusing on ill-defined content. I believe this research will have a tremendous positive impact on the methods we use to train both pre-service and in-service leachers.

I was quite impressed with the scope of the work Dr. Yu Feng undertook for his independent research. In particular, this study required that he be knowledgeable in mulliple areas surrounding his focal object and thai he carry out detailed, sophisticated and sensitive interpretations of recorded classroom aclivity taking place in English. He handled this complex study extremely well, adding important perspectives to the body of knowledge in teaching and teacher expertise.
