About me
I am Professor of English language education at the Dept. of Language Education at Stockholm University. I am also a registered teacher of English and Spanish.
I have been working for many years in the field of language education and have conducted research on English language teaching as well as multilingualism at home, school and preschool.
Research
I am interested in many aspects of the learning and teaching of languages, such as formal, informal and non-formal language learning, and the intergenerational transmission of indigenous, minority, or heritage languages.
My research interests lie in
- Digitalisation in language class in school
- Pre-service language teacher education
- Multilingualism in education
- English as a school subject in Sweden
- Language and migration
- Professional development of teachers
- Flipped education
- Online education
- Intergenerational transmission of minority languages
- English-medium education
- English for recently-arrived students
