Ongoing
Projects
Currently, I am working on three research projects. The Twitter project is divided into two separate projects. Using a large dataset of tweets, I am analyzing the use of language in controversial topics in the US with a research partner. The Context in TPACK is a follow-up to a previous project that is currently under review. The ChatGPT in Language Assessment is a team project that I am a part of at Iowa State University.
Twitter Corpus
Project 1, Abortion: Using over 100k tweets related to the debate on abortion in the US, the purpose of this study is to explore the linguistic features used in tweets to express affect (attitude or emotion).
Project 2, Police: Using a larger dataset of over 500k tweets, including the word "police," the aim of the study is to analyze the stance used in these tweets.
Context in Teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)
The purpose of this study is to examine the TPACK of English teachers from around the world.

Data analysis is still going on for this project.
