Instructed Second Language Acquisition Lab

Personal Statement

My research focuses on cognitive individual differences in both instructed and naturalistic SLA contexts; aptitude-treatment interactions; task-based language teaching (TBLT); measures of implicit and explicit language knowledge, as well as the effects of early and late bilingualism on long-term L2 achievement.
