I am a sociolinguist who is interested in critical language awareness, discourse analysis, bilingualism, microethnography, the global spread of English, language and development, variation in World Englishes, and Swahili sociolinguistics. I have researched classroom discourse, multilingualism and codeswitching in the workplace, the relationship between ideology and English as an international language, the role of sociolinguistic variation in language learning and language teaching, identity and L2 learning and use, and the role of language in health education. I teach graduate level courses in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, global English, and qualitative research methodology. |
