I am a doctoral researcher at the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS), Lancaster University. I research the application of corpus methods to the analysis of vocabulary in L2 English speech to inform language testing and second language acquisition.
More specifically, my current PhD research explores lexical complexity at different proficiency levels in the Trinity Lancaster Corpus, a 4.2-million-word learner corpus of L2 English spoken exams. My research involves 1) advancing a new method for measuring lexical complexity in spoken language and 2) examining the relationships between lexical complexity, learner characteristics, and task design.
