Short description of research profile
Our research deals with topics linked to the acquisition and use of pragmatic features of language (primarily English) by foreign language learners, as well as breakdown, speed and repair fluency . We have dealt with young language learners, university students and adults, as well as foreign language teachers, focusing on issues such as discourse marker use, fillers, task planning, classroom talk and similar. Another aspect of our research interest is related to interculturalism in SLA, the role of L1 culture in particular.
