I studied English and Applied Linguistics at RCEAL, University of Cambridge. Upon completion of the M.Phil. course I joined the research group in Tübingen and started my PhD project on English as a Lingua Franca. My project focuses on the use of English by native speakers of Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and Slovak, and is based on a small-size interview corpus (Tübingen corpus of Eastern European English).
I also teach undergraduate seminars in English Pragmatics. Forthcoming2012. 'The emergence of Eastern European English'. World Englishes, 31/2, 270-289.
