O autorze

Amanda Brown (PhD, Boston University / MPI Psycholinguistics) is Associate Professor of linguistics and Director of the Linguistic Studies Program at Syracuse University. She investigates the psycholinguistic effects of multicompetence and associated implications for gesture, language pedagogy and assessment, language across the curriculum, and (equity in) language teacher preparation.

 

Søren Wind Eskildsen is Associate Professor at the Department Design, Media and Educational Science, University of Southern Denmark. His research interests concern interactional processes and practices in L2 learning in situ and over time, approached from the perspective of usage-based linguistics and multimodal conversation analysis. He works with in- and out-of-class data.
