Upgrade StorageLeonie Regina Twente
I am an applied linguist educated at the University of Cologne where I am currently pursuing a PhD in Linguistics. I obtained my M.A. in Linguistics, my B.A. in Linguistics & Phonetics and Digital Humanities, and a certificate in teaching German to adult migrants (University of Duisburg-Essen).
In my work as a research associate at the University of Cologne I use quantitative methods to research questions regarding language skills, language development, and language education in school-aged learner populations, in particular with regards to multilingual learners who migrated to Germany in the course of their late childhood or youth. My courses for B.A. and M.A. students in teacher-education programmes also address these issues. I also teach courses on empirical research and quantitative methods.
Since 2021, I have also been working as a freelance educator, teacher of German and (occasionally) writer. My personal interests concern feminism, the learning of foreign languages, bouldering and biking, the occasional musical endeavor with my recorder and/or saxophone, and disability rights.
