BIO
I am a Professor of Second Language Acquisition and Co-Director of the Centre for Applied Linguistics at the IOE, University College London. My main research interests lie at the interfaces of second language acquisition, instruction, and assessment. I obtained my doctorate in Applied Linguistics from Teachers College, Columbia University. Prior to my doctoral studies, I completed an MA in Theoretical Linguistics and an MA in English Language and Literature at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. I previously worked as a Lecturer in the Linguistics and English Language Department at Lancaster University and as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Linguistics Department at Georgetown University. I am the editor of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics and serve as co-editor of the John Benjamins Task-based Language Teaching series. I held the role of vice-president and, for a year, president of the International Association for Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) between 2015-2023.
