We are delighted to announce that two former Linguistics PhD students have been awarded highly-competitive post-doctoral research fellowships in the ESRC NWDTC Global Challenges Research Fund scheme.
Together with her mentor Judit Kormos, Bimali Indrarathne will pursue research and impact-related activities relating to the inclusion of learners with specific learning differences in teaching English as a foreign language in Sri Lanka.
Diana Mazgutova, with her mentor Tineke Brunfaut, will do research and carry out impact activities to empower language teachers and learners in Uzbekistan through formal English reading and writing development initiatives.
Congratulations to both Bimali and Diana on this fantastic news!
The ESRC GCRF Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme provides a career development opportunity for those at a relatively early stage of their academic career who can demonstrate great potential in social science research, with an international development focus.
