Completing his degree at Deakin University in TESOL is inadequate to associate himself as a social-sciences researcher in Education. He then collaborated with some experts at the University of Sydney and the University Technology of Sydney to hone his research skills with Master of Arts (by Research) about social research in general domains such as ethnography, phenomenology, case study, survey, stimulated recall interviews, quick count as well as specific domains such as teachers' language awareness, artificial intelligence in language metacognition, teaching methodology, language assessment, communication strategies, critical discourse analysis, teachers' behavior and beliefs, and computer-assisted language learning.
He finally completed his Master's research study about communication strategies of university lecturers from the University of Technology Sydney in 2017. It was found that there were still many areas of improvement in the way to optimize communication strategies in the provision of high quality input and interaction in classroom teaching.
With regard to his doctoral degree at Macquarie University, he focused on Intercultural Approach to English teaching and learning; a recently-renowned language teaching approach that promotes the development of skills, knowledge, and attitudes towards the target language's cultures. The approach thus inculcates intercultural values such as open-mindedness, tolerance, peace and cooperative in a multilingual and multicultural context.
