After completing my MA in Language Testing (by distance) from Lancaster in 2012, I have taken up my PhD studies under the supervision of Dr. Tineke Brunfaut in January 2014. I am based in Tirol, Austria, where I am employed at the University of Innsbruck's School of Education.

My MA dissertation investigated the impact of using L2 dictionaries in the Austrian school-leaving exam in foreign languages.

In my PhD project, I'm looking diagnostic testing with a specific interest in diagnostically useful aspects of L2 listening behaviour.
