About me
Aki Siegel is an Associate Professor in the Department of English. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics from Newcastle University, UK.
Her research focuses on second language use and longitudinal development in English as a foreign language and multilingual contexts. Recently, she has been particularly interested in how relationships are co-constructed and develop over time in second language interactions.
Her recent book, co-authored with Paul Seedhouse, "Human Spoken Interaction as a Complex Adaptive System: A Longitudinal Study of L2 Interaction" (Edinburgh University Press, 2024), demonstrates how human interactions function as a complex adaptive system. The book uses conversation analysis and Complex Dynamics Systems Theory (CDST) and describes how the two are compatible research approaches.
She proposes a conversation analysis-complex dynamics systems theory (CA-CDST) approach for analyzing longitudinal development in L2 pragmatics.
