Background and activities

I am Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at NTNU. My research interests are primarily within language acquisition and language use from a usage-based / cognitive linguistic perspective. I am interested in communicative challenges in different social and institutional contexts. Currently I am focusing on science communication from a cognitive linguistic perspective, in collaboration with aCOMTECe and the Red Hen Lab™. I received my PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Kees de Bot and Prof. Marjolin Verspoor. Before joining NTNU in 2017 I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at MultiLing, a multidisciplinary research Centre of Excellence at the University of Oslo.

Academic interests, teaching, and supervision areas: second/foreign language acquisition, Cognitive Linguistics, Construction Grammar, usage-based linguistics, Science Communication, academic writing, scientific research writing, English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language (TESOL/TEFL)
