Pavel Trofimovich is a Professor of Applied Linguistics at Concordia University's Department of Education, where he has worked since 2003. His research bridges psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, and pedagogical dimensions of second language acquisition.
- PhD in Educational Psychology/Applied Linguistics (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2003)
- MA in Teaching English as an International Language (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1998)
- BA in English Philology (University of Latvia, 1996)
Key research areas include cognitive processing in L2 speech acquisition, social variables affecting language learning, and comprehensibility in lingua franca interactions. His Concordia Applied Linguistics Lab (co-directed with Kim McDonough) employs mixed methods including eye-tracking and physiological sensors to study multilingual communication.
Recent publications (2023-2025) focus on metaperception in L2 interaction, accent bias in employment, and nonverbal behaviors in communication success. Collaborative projects with students and SSHRC grants (e.g., 2021-2025 foreign accent bias study) demonstrate his applied focus on real-world language challenges.
