Personal profile

Curriculum vitae

Alexandra Schurz joined the department as a postdoctoral researcher. Her research interests revolve around the topics of implicit and explicit (grammar) knowledge, extramural English, specific learner differences, and cross-country comparisons of English teaching practices. During her PhD, Alexandra explored teenage learners' implicit and explicit knowledge and the impact of instruction and extramural English in Austria and in Sweden. In her postdoc, she will investigate opportunities and challenges of new media technologies for learners with specific differences. Currently, she is also involved in a project on the use of audiovisual input in English instruction in French elementary schools. Despite Alexandra's focus on research, she has a pedagogic background; she studied English and French in the teaching program at the University of Vienna and has experience teaching these subjects in Austrian secondary schools and a Swedish comprehensive school.
