Anne Palmér serves as Associate Professor of Swedish and senior lecturer at Uppsala University's Department of Nordic Languages. She specializes in teacher training for both Swedish and Swedish as a second language, with extensive experience in developing educational materials and assessment models for classroom use. Her research interests center on student text assessment and writing development across educational levels. Palmér has developed comprehensive models for analyzing and evaluating student writing from elementary through upper secondary school. She investigates syntactic development in narrative and descriptive texts, examining how writing evolves across genres and school subjects. Her work on oral communication in classroom settings stems from her doctoral dissertation Samspel och solostämmor , which analyzed oral communication patterns in different high school programs. Analyzing Palmér's recent publications reveals consistent focus on writing development, assessment methodologies, and the application of computational linguistics to educational contexts. Her work demonstrates progression from foundational assessment models toward increasingly sophisticated analyses incorporating automatic text annotation and computational methods. The research spans multiple educational transitions (grades 3-6, 6-9, and secondary levels) with particular attention to syntactic complexity, source usage, and genre-specific writing development. Palmér actively collaborates with researchers across disciplines, particularly working with computational linguists to develop analysis tools like SWEGRAM for automatic annotation of student texts. She regularly contributes to teacher education through university courses and professional development workshops focusing on oral communication, national testing, and language-developing instruction across subjects. Her work with the research networks SmDi (Swedish with a didactic focus) and NNMF (Nordic Mother Tongue Didactic Network) demonstrates her commitment to collaborative, cross-institutional research in language education.
