About me

My research explores English as a lingua franca (ELF), Global Englishes (GE) language education and teacher training, focusing the linguistic competencies, perceptions, and attitudes of ELF/GE users and learners. My investigation aims to promote language skills for using English as a contact language in diverse transnational contexts. In doing so, I critically examine language ideologies, such as ideologies of nativeness, which may link to social injustices.

 

Teaching

Undergraduate level:

I teach:

  • grammar proficiency and theories about second language learning to pre-service primary school teachers (F-3 & 4-6).
  • academic reading and writing in secondary/uppder secondary teacher education 

I also supervise/examine research projects (B & Cuppsatser) in secondary/upper secondary teacher education

Master’s & advanced level:

I teach English for academic research to students from diverse subject fields. I also supervise/examine research projects (D-uppsatser) in secondary/upper secondary teacher education, together with giving lecturers about working with data (joint class for C & D essay students).

(At previous wokrplaces)

As a senior lecturer in English at Högskolan Väst (2017-2022), my teaching responsibilities included grammar, phonetics, language structure and language history, research in linguistics, academic writing, eTwinning (international collaboration among teacher students in virtual spaces), lesson planning seminars, and I worked with students in teacher education programs and in freestanding online English courses. I also supervised and examined C & D research essays. 

As a senior lecturer in English teacher education at University Malaya in Malaysia (2015 – 2017), I taught English linguistics and grammar to undergraduate pre-service teacher students, and research in second language acquisition and seminars in English language education to in-service teachers in the Master's program. Supervising research theses and teaching practicum was also my main responsibility.
