Plenaries and Selected Recent Publications 

I have given two plenaries: New Sounds: International Symposium on the Acquisition of Second Language Speech (2013) and Pronunciation in Second Language Learning & Teaching (2016). I have also served as a member of two editorial boards: Journal of Second Language Pronunciation (2013-2021) and Language Learning & Technology (since 2011).

My publications have appeared in journals such as Applied Psycholinguistics, Canadian Modern Language Review, Journal of Second Language Pronunciation, Language Learning, Language Learning & Technology, Language Teaching Research, RELC Journal, TESOL Quarterly, and various edited volumes and handbooks.
