Research Interests: Celia focuses on second language (L2) acquisition, multilingual education, and the role of emotions (e.g., anxiety, boredom) and motivation in language learning. She explores how sociocultural theory informs pedagogical practices, particularly through technology-enhanced learning. Her recent work addresses pandemic-era shifts to online teaching and the implications of generative AI in higher education.
Teaching & Supervision: She leads modules in TESOL, language pedagogy, and research methods at Strathclyde, including the MSc Dissertation and BA Dissertation supervision. She has supervised numerous postgraduate and doctoral students on topics like translanguaging, processing instruction, and AI in language education. Current research groups investigate learner/teacher emotions and AI's role in language learning.
Awards & Projects: Principal Investigator for the AI in Applied Linguistics and TESOL project (2025). Recognized with scholarships from Trinity College Dublin and the Irish Embassy. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).
