The contexts for her research have included the teaching of English to French-speaking students in Canada as well as dual or two-way immersion classes in the U.S. Her forthcoming book Focus on Content-Based Language Teaching will appear in the Oxford Key Concepts for the Language Classroom series, which she is co-editing with Nina Spada.
