Current Work

Linguistics is a study of the language (the i-Language which is presumably common for everyone, without regard at variations which happen in different parts of the world). Linguistics proudly stands among the fields which use scientific method as a main means of inquiry. 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.

Research Interests

generative approaches to L2...n acquisition
epistemology of inquiry into Ln acquisition and transfer studies
intersection of generative linguistics and Ln language teaching
language testing
syntax and semantics of Ukrainian

Projects
