About me
I hold a PhD in Language Education from Stockholm University from 2019. I have a background as a certified upper secondary school teacher of English, French and Italian with ten years experience of teaching in compulsory school and upper secondary school in Sweden and also at corresponding levels at Bristol Cathedral School in England. I received my education from Stockholm Institute of Education, Stockholm University, Dalarna University, Bristol University and Institut Supérieur de Traducteurs et Interprètes in Bruxelles.
I have worked as a teacher educator at Stockholm University for eight years and have taught various courses in language education for student teachers of English and Modern Languages. During the spring term of 2024 I teach the course 'English in the Classroom' for student teachers in school years 4-6 and the courses on English language teaching for student teachers in lower and upper secondary school. I also supervise degree projects and do teaching practicum visits.
The title of my PhD was L2 Instruction and Collocation Learning: Classroom intervention research on input processing with L1 Swedish adolescent learners of English. I defended my PhD on March 29, 2019 with Dr Elke Peters from KU Leuven as the external examiner. I continue to do research with clear applications for L2 learners and teachers, notably the researcher-teacher collaboration project Word Up! together with Tore Nilsson from the Department of Language Education and Fanny Meunier from Université catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium. My research interests also include mapping adolescent L2 learners’ vocabulary size and depth.
