General description
I work as a senior lecturer of Swedish at the Department of Language and Communication Studies. I did my PhD (2000) in regional variation of Swedish pronunciation, and I also hold a title of docent in that topic at JYU.
I teach pronunciation, oral skills, grammar, vocabulary, scientific communication and, from time to time, a bachelor's or master's seminar.

Research interests
My research is mainly in the field of applied linguistics. I do research on learning of pronunciation and oral skills, automatic assessment of oral proficiency, gamebased second language learning, bilingualism (especially regarding oral skills), phonetics (e.g. dialectal variation in Swedish), and contact linguistics.
The results of my research can be used to improve second language learning through, for example, better learning materials and technological applications. My research contributes also to knowledge and understanding of language phenomena and language change.
