I am currently an Associate Professor, Adjunct with the School of Humanities and Communication Arts and MARCS Institute, University of Western Sydney. My languages are Italian. English and Spanish. My research interests are in Second Language Acquisition and theory construction in that field with a focus on further development in Processability Theory (Pienamann 1998, Pienemann, Di Biase & Kawaguchi 2005)and its cross-linguistic application and its application to areas of practice. as well as Bilingual First Language Acquisition and Language Learning and Teaching with a particular interest in Skills Development and Working Memory and the relationship between CALL and Language Learning. I am also interested in the documentation of Italian dialects in Australia.
