About
My research interests include language testing and assessment, teaching/learning, teacher training, materials design and evaluation, differentiated instruction, multilingual and distance education, and learning difficulties. I am the editor and author of several volumes, journal papers, and book chapters and the coordinator of the Classroom-based Language Assessment SIG – EALTA and Evaluation and Assessment FoU at OsloMet. I am currently coordinating and participating in research projects on second language assessment literacy (TALE at www.taleproject.eu), identifying linguistic parameters accounting for progress in proficiency in high-stakes tests and authentic language acquisition in multilingual contexts (ENRICH and PALM at www.enrichproject.eu and www.palm-edu.eu/en/) and others e.g. DINGLE/DAAD, TRIBES/COST, etc
