Current teaching
Current research
Recent research projects investigate the use of language apps for formal and informal language learning. In an auto-ethnographic study, Antonie has written about her own experiences of learning Spanish with apps. A further on-going study assesses the use of language apps in formal learning settings. The dynamics of informal (self-initiated and out-of-class) and formal (classroom-bound) learning practices are at the core of Antonie's research interest.
Supervision
She welcomes applications for BA(Hons), Masters' and PhD degrees in the fields of language education, computer assisted language learning, informal learning and intercultural communication.
