Teaching
Teaching and supervision
As I am currently Vice Dean of Education at the Faculty of Humanities, I do not have ordinary teaching.
Normally, I predominantly teach courses in French linguistics at BA and MA level, but I have also taught courses in more general linguistic theory and in language and cognition.
Supervision
I supervise bachelors' and masters' theses within the fields of French syntax and second- and third-language acquisition. I emphasize including master students in ongoing research projects, both because the students provide valuable research within the projects and because the projects give students access to a larger network and broader competence in the field.
Here are examples of masters' theses I've supervised or co-supervised:
- Torheim: L'acquisition syntaxique en L3: Une étude sur l’interférence translinguistique dans le placement du verbe en français L3
- Ilebekk: (Ne) pas. Une étude qualitative de l’enseignement de la négation française en Norvège
- Kjellmark: La taille du vocabulaire chez des étudiants de français au niveau universitaire en Norvège
- Lie: La taille du vocabulaire français chez des élèves au niveau lycéen en Norvège
- Egeland: Kartlegging av språkvansker hos elever med et annet morsmål enn norsk i den videregående skolen i Agder
- Stevenson: Cross-linguistic variation and second language acquisition of human locomotion lexicalization patterns in French and Norwegian
I also supervise doctoral candidates within the same fields. Currently, the candidates I'm supervising are part of the CLIMA researhc project.
