Biographical Sketch |
|
| Zsuzsa Londe received her BA in Linguistics from UCLA (summa cum laude) and an MA and Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics, also from UCLA. Languages, language-teaching, research, assessment and statistics are her ongoing academic interests. Working memory and its relationship to listening comprehension in a second language was the topic of her dissertation. Her research and publications with other colleagues have taken her to areas of generative linguistic, psycholinguistics and language-assessment. She very much enjoys teaching and attaches great importance to diversity, communication, and an encouraging, academic atmosphere in the classroom. | |
