Biography

My primary area of research is the intersection of second language assessment, Vygotskian-inspired pedagogy and computer-assisted language learning (CALL).

I have been a teacher of French as a foreign language since 1998 and a teacher of English as a second language since 2002.

I have experience in the establishment and teaching of distance education and have more recently focused my research on the applications of telecollaborative technologies to foreign language pedagogy.
