Research interests
I am interested in collecting Learner Corpora and in then working on corpus based and corpus driven analyses. The results can be used to modify and elaborate syllabi, teaching materials and evaluation procedures for the specific group of learners from whom the corpora were collected, or for similar groups.
I am interested in considering possibilities of use of various types of corpora by foreign language learners.
All this and other means such as task based learning, project work, different kinds of evaluation… have the aim of rendering language teaching and learning more effective, stimulating and permanent.
