Research interests
Digital game-based language learning: educational technologies, development of grammar and orthography apps, tandem learning of German as L2 in social virtual reality
Didactics of German: orthography and grammar in elementary school education, written language acquisition, design-based research in higher education
Cognitive variationist linguistics: variety contact and acquisition, perception and production of syntactic variation, corpus linguistics, pragmatics in intercultural multimodal communication, enactivist embodied cognition: motor semantics of German touch verbs, multimodal discourse analysis, eye-tracking
