Academic interests

My main fields of interest are: Spanish language, foreign languages, second language acquisition, linguistics, sociolinguistics, translation studies, English language.

In my PhD project, I will explore in which ways certain types of teacher feedback on written learners' texts affect the interaction between their L1, L2 and L3 (Norwegian, English and Spanish) over time. The PhD project is part of the larger project “MULTIWRITE - Interactions Between First, Second and Third Languages”, and will complement and elaborate on this.
