معرفی
Katalin Piniel is an Assistant Professor at the Department of English Applied Linguistics within the School of English and American Studies at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Her work bridges applied linguistics and educational psychology, focusing on the dynamic interplay of emotions, including language anxiety, motivation, and self-efficacy in foreign language learning contexts, particularly in Hungary.
- PhD in Language Pedagogy (ELTE)
- Associate Editor of Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching
- Active reviewer for applied linguistics journals
Her research integrates complex dynamic systems theory to analyze longitudinal changes in affective variables and employs meta-analytic techniques to validate anxiety measurement tools like the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). She explores formative and summative assessment practices in Hungarian high schools and investigates flow experiences during language tasks. Her methodological interests include quantitative tools (e.g., Rasch analysis), collaborative research, and cross-cultural comparisons (e.g., Hungarian-Kazakh studies).
Recent publications highlight trends in emotion-motivation dynamics, skills-based anxiety measurement, and the impact of online education on affective variables. She collaborates on projects examining special needs learners, including Deaf and hard-of-hearing students, in foreign language acquisition.
