Teaching and Research Fields
My two main areas of research are qualitative in nature. Firstly, I am interested in how language is used within focus groups. At present I am collecting data to examine the language used in the transformation of individual opinions into ‘facts’ accepted and referred to by the group. My other area of interest is in examining the group dynamics of small groups within the SLA classroom. This is primarily drawn from research into group dynamics in psychology. Both areas of research are informing my classroom practice.
