Dr Karin Zotzmann is Associate Professor within Modern Languages at the University of Southampton.
I completed a first Master of Arts in German as a Foreign Language (major), Intercultural Business Communication and Social Psychology (both minors) at the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena, Germany. My second MA in Cultural Studies at the University of Lancaster was followed by a PhD in Linguistics at the same institution and a third MA in Spanish as a Foreign Language at the University of Jaén (Spain).
As a language teacher, I taught German and English at various universities and language institutes in Germany, the USA, Australia and Mexico. I worked as a lecturer for several years in Applied Linguistics at different universities in Mexico and more recently as a research officer at the Institute of Education, University of London. I joined Modern Languages and Linguistics at Southampton in January 2011.
