In 2024 I became a Full Professor at UGA and assumed the responsibility of assistant director of the LIDILEM research unit.

In 2009 I initiated the international, bi-annual conference English Pronunciation: Issues & Practices, with the 9th edition being organized in April 2026 at the University of Manchester, England (EPIP9). Since 2023, the Proceedings of EPIP conferences have been published in OpenAcces on HAL.

My research is centred primarily on:

- teaching and learning the pronunciation of English as an additional language

- listener training, to promote greater comprehensibility and intelligibility as well as tolerance of variation in spoken language (esp. in English and French).

Disciplines scientifiques

  • applied linguistics
  • didactics of spoken language
  • teacher & learner education
  • sociolinguistics (esp., outgroup speech)
  • language policy

I currently teach English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to Science & Technology students at Université Grenoble-Alpes (UGA). For 24 years at another French university I taught English phonetics and phonology to English majors, as well as ESP to students majoring in the Humanities.

In addition to training English teachers and CLIL teachers in France, I have also been involved in training future English teachers in Czechia, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Spain.
