Dr Adriana Patino
Director of Centre for Linguistics, Language Education and Acquisition Research (CLLEAR)
My latest research project investigates the effects of becoming bilingual on a speaker's native language. Examining this process is crucial to fully understand bilingualism.
My current research project explores the role of technology in UK school-based language learning. We’re investigating how digital tools support teacher learning and motivation as well as pupil linguistic and non-linguistic (creativity and empathy) outcomes.
