Research 

Long Peng conducts research in both education and linguistics. In education, his research has been concerned with clinically rich teaching and its impact on teacher candidates, linguistics and its relevance to language instruction, pre-service teachers' perceptions of urban schools and their understanding of social injustices. His linguistic research focuses on a broad range of phonological phenomena in languages that range from Kikuyu and Kiswati to Warao and Southern Barasano to three varieties of English as a second language. Long Peng has published extensively on African linguistics, second language phonology and education. He, together with Jean Ann and Patricia Russo, was the recipient of a $553,488 grant to develop an undergraduate clinically rich teacher preparation program in 2012 to 2014. He has just completed a TESOL methods textbook manuscript entitled "Content-based Instruction: A Guide to Teaching English through English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies".
