Kateryna Derkach

Dr. Kateryna Derkach is a researcher and educator in applied and computational linguistics, currently teaching at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Linguistics and the University of Tübingen's Department of Linguistics. As part of the TEIFUN project, she contributes to innovative approaches in foreign language education, focusing on AI-enhanced listening comprehension training.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of language acquisition and artificial intelligence. Specifically, she explores how AI-based personalized tutoring systems can support both learners and teachers in developing listening skills in second languages. Her work integrates insights from her academic training at Cambridge and Oxford, her practical experience as an English teacher in Ukraine, and her professional background in educational materials development at Oxford University Press.

Dr. Derkach's interdisciplinary approach combines computational linguistics, phonology, and pedagogical innovation to address key challenges in language education. Although no publications or scientific awards are listed in the available text, her current project indicates active engagement in cutting-edge educational technology research.

She has been involved in the TEIFUN project, which facilitates her dual affiliation with the University of Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen. There is no indication of formal student supervision at this time, nor any mention of grants, but her work inherently involves research and development in AI-driven educational tools.
