Lene Nordrum serves as an Associate Professor in English Linguistics at Lund University's Centre for Languages and Literature (SOL) within the Faculty of Humanities and Theology. She additionally works as an academic developer at the Centre for Engineering Education (LTH), demonstrating her cross-faculty contributions to the university. Her institutional roles include Coordinator for English courses for university staff and for commissioned education at the Centre for Languages and Literature.
Dr. Nordrum's research spans several interconnected areas in linguistics and education. Her primary interests include English for Specific Purposes (particularly in academic contexts), multimodal communication analysis, contrastive linguistics comparing English with Scandinavian languages, and systemic functional linguistics. Her methodological approach is predominantly corpus-based, utilizing monolingual, multilingual, and learner corpora to investigate linguistic phenomena. She has developed significant expertise in writing pedagogy, with special focus on Content and Language Integrated Learning approaches within engineering and science disciplines, bridging language education with STEM fields.
Her recent scholarly work shows a growing emphasis on doctoral education, particularly through pedagogical mentorship models for doctoral students. The trajectory of her publications demonstrates movement from specialized linguistic analysis toward broader educational applications, reflecting her dual roles in both linguistics research and academic development.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Meriterad Lärare HT award (2025) for teaching excellence
- Election to Vetenskapssocieteten i Lund (2024), a prestigious scientific society
- The Stig Johansson bursary for best poster presentation at the 32nd ICAME conference (2011)
Nordrum actively contributes to doctoral education through multiple projects, including the "Pedagogical mentorship programme for doctoral students: Two pilot projects" (2022-2024) and "Writing feedback and student engagement: A teacher perspective" (2022-2023). She frequently engages in pedagogical development work, serves as an external reviewer for PhD theses, and participates in national and international academic forums. Her work on "Agency in academic writing" (2011-2013) established early foundations for her current focus on academic writing support.
She is actively involved with several academic networks including the Nordic Society for Systemic Functional Linguistics and contributes to the research community through peer review activities for publishers like John Benjamins. Her participation in the Centre for Engineering Education demonstrates her commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration between humanities and technical disciplines.
