Research
Thanks to my background in psychology, I enrolled in a part-time PhD programme in educational sciences at the UBO under the direction of Gilles KERMARREC in 2017. I am affiliated with the CREAD research laboratory and the 3A2P research team.
My research focuses on the issue of language learning motivation. I am investigating the way in which peer assessment and peer feedback influences learners' self-regulatory strategies. I am particularly interested in the impact of social aspects on metacognition, and the interaction between social and digital factors, particularly using video feedback.
Teaching
I am involved in English teaching at all levels within the LCI department.
I am head of languages for our apprentice students (FIP) on the Brest and Rennes campuses.
