I have studied rhetoric and English linguistics at Uni Tübingen and worked as a sessional lecturer at the University of British Columbia. Currently, I am doing my dissertation on the use of English as a lingua franca, specifically on the role of monitoring processes in ELF-communication. My research is empirically based on data from the TELF corpus and database. I am also teaching pragmatics in the department, and I am involved in the EU projects PELLIC and Backbone.
