Cesar Teló

Before joining the PhD program in Applied Linguistics at Concordia University (supervised by Pavel Trofimovich), Cesar obtained a BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, in Brazil, and an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Calgary. He is broadly interested in second language speech, including how learners acquire and process individual sounds, how individual differences affect the learning process, how listeners react to second language speech, how speaking with an accent impacts speakers’ lives, and how pronunciation can be taught and learned more effectively.
