Professor Hui-Chin Yeh is currently the Distinguished Professor in the Department of Applied Foreign Languages and Editor-in-Chief of Educational Technology & Society, a Q1-ranked journal. Her previous roles include Dean of International Affairs, Director of the Teaching Excellence Center, Associate Dean of the College of Humanities and Applied Sciences, and Chair of the Department of Applied Foreign Languages.

Professor Yeh's scholarly pursuits encompass a broad spectrum of cutting-edge educational technologies and methodologies. Her work significantly contributes to the enhancement of language teaching and learning through the adoption of advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). She has been committed to empowering educators in rural areas over the long term and actively mentors young scholars to innovate in teaching and deepen their research. She also explores the incorporation of multimodality in supporting content creation, enriching the English learning experience.

Additionally, she pioneers in facilitating telecollaboration across international borders, fostering language exchange and cultural understanding through virtual partnerships and exchanges. These diverse research interests underscore her commitment to expanding the scope and efficacy of multiliteracies pedagogy.

Professor Yeh's academic journey is distinguished by the publication of over 100 research papers and book chapters, 79 of them in SSCI- or SCIE-indexed journals, with 86% of her output over the past five years appearing in SSCI or SCIE journals. Her scholarly reputation is further enhanced by being recognized in the World's Top 2% Scientists list compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier; she has been named to its single-year impact ranking multiple times and, in 2026, was included in its career-long impact ranking for the first time. In the 2026 single-year ranking, she placed 10th among Taiwan-based scholars in the Education subfield and, among Education scholars with Languages & Linguistics as their secondary subfield, 33rd worldwide (of 204) and first in Taiwan. She is a four-time recipient of the Distinguished Young Scholar Awards from MOST/NSTC (2011, 2017, 2020, and 2023), and has twice received the Research Excellence Award from YunTech — a testament to her sustained contributions to academic excellence. These awards are emblematic of the continuous recognition of her exemplary research and her ongoing commitment to academic excellence.
