Meine Forschungsinteressen liegen in allen Aspekten, welche sich mit der Psychologie des Sprachenlernens und -lehrens befassen. Insbesondere habe ich ein Forschungsinteresse in den Bereichen Sprachlernmotivation, Engagement, Agency, Kommunikationsbereitschaft (Willingness to Communicate, WTC) und Wohlbefinden von Sprach-Lehrpersonen entwickelt. Meine aktuelle Forschung konzentriert sich auf die Motivation und das Engagement beim Sprachenlernen, den Stolz von Sprach-Lehrpersonen und das Wohlbefinden von Sprach-Lehrpersonen. Ich interessiere mich besonders für die Durchführung von Längsschnittuntersuchungen im Klassenzimmer, bei denen eine Vielzahl von Forschungsmethoden, wie Stimulated Recall und Experience Sampling Method, verwendet werden können.
