Current Work

Linguistics is a study of the Language (the one which is common for everyone, without regard at minor variations which happen in different parts of the world). Linguistics does not belong in humanities - it is as much a science as physics and chemistry, and it proudly stands among the fields which use scientific method as a main means of inquiry. Language does not evolve, only linguistic capacity does. Specifically, I am interested in how learners acquire third and fourth languages and what are the principles which inform these processes.

As of right now, I also serve as a Curriculum and Assessment Advisor for the ENGin program where I apply my experience on the intersection of linguistics and language teaching to guide designing and developing curriculum as well as review designing, validating, and developing assessment frameworks of the program.
