Dr Esmaeel Abdollahzadeh

About me:

I'm a researcher in language education. My main professional interests are in language education and language learning. Having taught and researched on language for over a decade, I got particularly interested in how different communities of practice use language for their own particular purposes in non/professional settings.

I've grown research interest in the following areas:

How learners approach learning and what strategies they employ

Task-based teaching and learning

Developing learners' intercultural competence

Intercultual/cross-cultural pragmatics

Academic reading and writing
