Peter Crosthwaite is an Associate Professor in the School of Languages and Cultures at The University of Queensland, where he has been employed since 2017. Previously, he served as an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Applied English Studies at the University of Hong Kong from 2014. He holds an MA TESOL from the University of London and an M.Phil/Ph.D in applied linguistics from the University of Cambridge, UK. His academic roles include Deputy Head of School and Associate in the Applied Linguistics Program.
Dr. Crosthwaite earned his doctoral degree from the University of Cambridge, building on his MA TESOL from the University of London. His academic journey demonstrates a strong foundation in both theoretical linguistics and practical language teaching applications.
Dr. Crosthwaite's research focuses on corpus linguistics and data-driven learning, computer-assisted language learning, and English for General and Specific Academic Purposes. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical language teaching applications, particularly in how corpus tools can enhance language learning. He has made significant contributions to understanding second language writing processes, academic language development, and the integration of technology in language education. His recent research increasingly examines the intersection of corpus linguistics with generative AI technologies.
Analysis of Dr. Crosthwaite's recent publications reveals a strong focus on the application of corpus linguistics to language learning, with a growing emphasis on AI technologies. His work spans theoretical investigations of language patterns, development of practical teaching tools like CorpusMate, and examinations of how emerging technologies impact language learning and assessment. A significant portion of his recent work addresses the practical implementation of data-driven learning approaches across various educational contexts, from primary schools to higher education.
