Background

I have been teaching English linguistics and phonetics at the University of Paris for more than 20 years.

My research covers various aspects of spoken English, including intonation, accentuation, discourse analysis, and non-native pronunciation.

I am member of the LIDIL12 research group at the Université Paris-Est:  https://ks3272436.kimsufi.com/~cours8/lidil/ as well as of the research network OSLiA - Oral spontané et linguistique anglaise (anciennement l’équipe « - Morphophonologie et phonosyntaxe » (EA CLILLAC) Université Paris-Diderot). : https://oslia.pbworks.com

I am currently member of the organising committee and treasurer of the ALOES (Société des Anglicistes Oralistes de l'Enseignement Supérieur, Secondaire et Elémentaire)ll.univ-poitiers.fr/aloesfrance/spip.php?article3
