Her work spans various disciplines including Sociolinguistics, Chinese Studies, Cultural Studies, and Media Studies, challenging superficial assumptions about the role of English in China and the perspectives of Chinese speakers regarding language dominance in a globalized context. Fong’s research dives into translanguaging practices among Chinese individuals, involving both Mandarin and local dialects alongside English.
