At the center is my overall focus on English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, which connects to five key areas.

• The first is Language Assessment, where my work covers learning-oriented assessment, digital and AI-mediated assessment, assessment literacy, and assessment practices in CLIL and EFL contexts. This strand reflects my interest in how assessment can genuinely support learning.

• The second is EFL Teacher Education, which includes teacher well-being, reflective practice, inclusive pedagogy, and the challenges teachers face during their practicum and professional growth. Much of my work here is about strengthening teachers’ capacities and voices.

• Closely related is Reflective Practice, which I consider both a research interest and a professional value. I investigate how teachers and learners reflect on their experiences and how this shapes their development.

• Another area is English Language Teaching, which captures broader issues such as materials design, innovative pedagogies, and classroom practices that respond to learners’ real needs.

• Finally, Intercultural Communication in ELT highlights my interest in intercultural competence, intercultural sensitivity, and Global Englishes perspectives, especially in how learners and teachers engage with English as a global language.

Altogether, these areas show how my research brings together assessment, teacher development, learner psychology, technology and innovation, and intercultural perspectives to improve English language education in meaningful ways.
