Research Summary

I am interested in research concerning the teaching of German as a foreign language, German for academic purposes, online language teaching and learning, intercultural rhetoric and pragmatics as well as translation studies. I have worked as an editor in the publication of bilingual German-English dictionaries and maintain an interest in lexicology and lexicography. For my PhD, I looked at the lexical realization of writer-reader interaction in German history monographs and analysed how this "metadiscourse" was rendered in published English translations. I am currently working on the development of an online language course, "German for Academic Reading Purposes" and I am involved in doing research on multilingual London for the LUCIDE network on multilingual citizen communities (http://www.urbanlanguages.eu/).
