| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In AY2021, I collected and analysed the final round of quantitative data for the project from 120 learner participants. I also made substantial progress in disseminating the findings of the project. One full-length paper was published in a peer-reviewed international CALL journal, one book chapter was accepted for publication, and one further full-length paper is currently undergoing peer review for a major international CALL journal. I also presented the results of my study at CALICO 2021, one of the main conferences in the field of CALL, and was invited by BALEAP to present a seminar on my research to an international audience. I have also submitted proposals and have been accepted to present my results at four international conferences in AY2022.
