Sabrina Royer

Sabrina Royer is a Lecturer in Language Sciences and French as a Foreign Language (FLE) at Avignon Université, associated with the ICTT laboratory (Cultural Identity, Texts, Theatricality). She holds a permanent academic position focusing on intercultural communication and educational integration processes.

Her research examines mediation mechanisms for allophone migrant learners in professional training and academic settings across French-speaking territories (France, Canada, Morocco). Utilizing multimodal video corpora, she analyzes how migrants appropriate professional knowledge through reflective practice. Recent work emphasizes language barriers in 'tension professions' requiring internalized linguistic competencies.

Current projects include a forthcoming book adaptation of her thesis: Building professional learning in interaction: the internalized language part in action (Presses Universitaires du Septentrion, 2023), stemming from her 2022 Hauts-de-France Junior Valorisation Prize.

Active in interdisciplinary research, she collaborates with 35 permanent members and 20 doctoral students in the ICTT team studying identity representations in globalized/migrant-impacted societies. Professional experience in educational and professional training sectors informs her pragmatic research approach.
