About Thanh Vi Son

Background

I have a bachelor's degree in English and teacher education in English from Cantho University, Vietnam. I worked as an English teacher before having a master's degree in language and culture from Linköping University, Sweden, a master's degree in higher education pedagogical research and leadership from Kassel University, Germany, and a PhD in linguistics from Lund University, Sweden. I have taught and supervised in English linguistics at the university level and in the English teaching education program in Sweden to varying degrees.

Teaching

Currently, I teach courses in the English teaching education program, English linguistics and didactics, steering documents, assessment and grading for teacher candidates, and the International Master’s Programme in Educational Research.

Research

As a linguist and language educator specializing in EFL, I am interested in the teaching, learning, testing, and assessment of English across different contexts, with a focus on cross-linguistic and cultural perspectives, teacher and learner viewpoints, multilingualism, ICT in language education, global Englishes, TESOL, grammatical aspects of second language acquisition (SLA), focus-on-form and language didactics in the classroom.
