About me
I am an Associate Professor of Bilingualism with a specialization in social dimensions of multilingualism and second language learning. My main research interest is in the interface between second language learning and social interaction. I use Conversation Analysis, typically with a multimodal and longitudinal perspective, to investigate how people develop their interactional competence in a second or foreign language.
I am also series editor of Routledge Advances in Second Language Studies, which publishes groundbreaking research on second language learning processes and practices.
I mainly teach courses in multilingualism and second language learning at undergraduate and graduate levels. I regularly supervise degree projects in Swedish as a second language and in SLA and multilingualism.
In several completed and ongoing projects, I have studied the development of interactional competence in a second language (see some of these research projects below). My monograph about the development of interactional competence in second language French was published in 2022 and is available as Open Access at Routledge:
The Development of L2 Interactional Competence
I also work on first-language interactions (primarily Swedish and French). During several years, I was part of the research program IVIP, Interaction and Variation in Pluricentric Languages – Communicative Patterns in Sweden Swedish and Finland Swedish, which investigated communicative differences between Swedish used in Sweden and Swedish used in Finland.
In the international research environment Syntax and the body: The structuring of language in multimodal sense-making, we investigate how grammatical and bodily resources interact in various languages and social situations.
