Biography
I hold a PhD in Second Language Studies from Michigan State University (USA), two M.A degrees in Applied Linguistics and French as a Foreign Language from the Universty of Grenoble-Alpes (France) and a B.A in English from the University of Tours (France). Before joining the ANU in 2016, I was Assistant Professor of French Linguistics at Rochester Institute of Technology (New York), and taught Second Language Acquisition, Methodology of Teaching Languages, and French at Michigan State University. In addition to French and English, I speak German and I am a heritage learner of Turkish.
My research has been published in top-tier (Q1) SLA journals, such as the Modern Language Journal, Applied Psycholinguistics, the Journal of Second Language Pronunciation, Language and Speech, Language Awareness, ReCALL, the Journal of Asia TEFL, the Canadian Modern Language Review, and Studies in Second Language Research and Teaching. I am on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Second Language Pronunciation.
At the ANU, I convene Introductory French I and II and The Sounds of French: Phonetics and Pronunciation, in addition to teaching advanced topics such as The French Language in Space and Time. I am the Second Language Acquisition stream leader in the Speech and Language Lab and I supervise students in both applied linguistics and French.
I am Vice President of the Applied Linguistics Association of Australia, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and the recipient of multiple teaching awards: a national Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning (2019), an ANU Vice-Chancellor's Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (2019), and an ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences Award for a Program that Enhances Learning (2022).
