Bio/Research

I did my PhD in Psychology at McGill University (1998), and my MA and BA in Linguistics at the University of British Columbia. I did postdoctoral studies at the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at McGill University before joining the Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta in 2000.

I study bilingual language acquisition, second language acquisition, and specific language impairment in children. One of my research programmes concerns children learning English as a second language: How these children approach native-speaker competence, what unique language development profiles they display, the factors explaining why some individual children learn English faster than others, and what language measures best differentiate English second language children with typical development from those with impairment.
