Research:
I have been involved in research on learning and teaching for a number of years. One of my main interests is online language learning. I have worked on a number of studies on online learning environments (such as synchronous audio-graphic conferencing) and I am particularly interested in task design, tutor and student impresions of online learning and the affordances of such environments. Lately, my research has focused on podcasting and the use of mobile apps for language learning as well as Twitter as a language learning and teaching tool. I regularly give papers at national and international conferences and I have published journal articles and book chapters.
