RESEARCH

 

My research interests focus on adult student motivation for language learning, the impact of social identity on second language acquisition, and the interplay between these two factors (identity and motivation) in language learning. I have listed below the papers and presentations I have done on these topics. Some of these are available for download below. I will greatly appreciate your feedback on the ideas and findings contained in them. I am also open to ideas for collaborative research projects.
