Personal statement
I recently joined the School of Education and the TESOL team after having worked as a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Portsmouth and UWS since 2016. While there I was leading and teaching a range of modules on L2 acquisition, multilingualism, EMI, and research methods among others.
Prior to these appointments and alongside my doctoral studies, I was delivering linguistics, psycholiguistics and TESOL modules since 2011 in the School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Essex, UK. From 2018 till now, I have also been collaborating with IOE, UCL by leading and supervising a number of research projects in language education, applied linguistics and TESOL.
I hold a BA in English Language and Linguistics from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, an M. Phil. in Applied Linguistics from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland (Graduate Scholarship, Trinity College Dublin) and a PhD in Applied Linguistics and TESOL from the University of Essex (2016). My doctoral project was fully funded by a Doctoral Research Scholarship (1+3 quota scholarship). During my studies I served as an Impact Communications Officer at the UK Data Service (ONS) in their research methods and case study sector.泭
I'm particularly interested in Sociocultural theory and how discipline specific content can be taught through English. My research looks at both the online and offline activity generated by the learners' interaction with tasks as unique events to study the processes that develop as a result of that interaction in combination with the learners' own goals, individual differences and perceptions of the tasks.泭
My latest work explored how teachers have adjusted to the COVID-19 challenges online and relevant implications. Since 2022, I have been running 2 MSc research groups in GEN AI and Language Teacher Research.
I also have extensive experience in supervising postgraduate and doctoral students on second/foreign language pedagogy, language teacher education and technology-enhanced learning projects in various contexts.
