Biography

I work in the areas of applied linguistics, corpus linguistics, language acquisition, processing, and instruction. More specifically, I focus on the acquisition and use of vocabulary by second/foreign language learners, with a particular focus on phraseology and computer-assisted language learning. In the past, I was actively involved in the development of large-scale language assessment tools for English Language Learners in the USA. My other interests include corpus-based linguistic analysis, replication research, teaching and learning of international students, distance learning, and digital pedagogies.

Through my current role as Director of Postgraduate Taught Courses (PGT) in the School of English, much of my teaching focuses on MA level, but I also contribute to undergraduate courses. I have developed, taught and team-taught modules on general linguistics, research methods, second language acquisition, corpus linguistics, English language teaching, delivering them both on campus (MA in Applied Linguistics and MA in Applied Linguistics & English Language Teaching) and online (our innovative and award-winning Online English delivered via distance learning). I am also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (awarded in June 2026).

My pedagogic work and research centre around the student experience and ways of enhancing it, particularly in relation to the learning and teaching of international and distance students. In the past, I have worked in language teacher education in the ELT context of Poland, teaching both theoretical and practical modules across various topics in applied linguistics.

I have extensive experience in supervising BA-, MA-, PhD-level projects and dissertations. In terms of PhD supervision, my current students explore topics related to language learning in online and informal contexts, the effectiveness of blended learning and CALL, language learning and processing by bilingual and heritage speakers, applications of corpus methods in language analysis, and the use of AI in second language learning and teaching.

Current Research

I have published books and research papers on a range of topics in applied linguistics. In 2023, I authored a manuscript focused on corpus-based research into the notion of collocations; Collocations, Corpora and Language Learning was published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Elements series. Another co-authored publication was Vocabulary Theory, Patterning and Teaching (Szudarski & Barclay 2022, Multilingual Matters), a volume that showcases the current state of knowledge in the field of vocabulary studies. In 2022, I also co-authored a volume called Digital Teaching for Linguistics, which provides both an introduction to digital pedagogy and a discussion of technology-driven teaching practices related to online and distance education (Gregory, Norledge, Stockwell & Szudarski 2022, Routledge).

My publications have also underlined the importance of replication in language research. For instance, in a range of studies involving L2-Spanish learners from across different learning contexts (Morgan-Short et al., 2018; Szudarski & Miko艂ajczak, 2023), we explored the effects of attention to form during L2 listening and reading comprehension, gaining both theoretical and methodological insights. Similarly, with colleagues from Belgium, we showed the benefits of multi-site replication research in studying the effects of repetition on L2 collocational learning (Peters, Puimege & Szudarski, 2023). Recently, in a replication study co-authored with Christine Muir, we demonstrated the importance of both task- and learner-related variables in evaluating the effectiveness of specific language tasks (Szudarski & Muir, 2026).

In the past, I was actively involved in research on language testing. Through my work at the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) in Washington, I gained experience in the development of large-scale language assessment tools for English Language Learners in the USA.

For a number of years, I have been a member of the British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL). Since 2021, I have been a member of BAAL's Executive Committee (2021-2025 Ordinary Member, since 2025 Seminars Coordinator). I have also been a member of the Coordinating Committee of the BAAL Vocabulary Studies Special Interest Group (Treasurer 2018-22 & Convenor 2022-2026). Finally, I have served as external examiner of applied linguistics courses at other British universities, and I have examined PhD dissertations, both in the UK and internationally.

Future Research

I am currently working on a manuscript devoted to teaching and supporting international students in the fields of applied linguistics and ELT.
