I am a teacher of French and a researcher in the field of second language acquisition at the Centre for Languages and Literature at Lund University.
I teach French at all levels and is also involved in the teacher training program.
In my research, I study the second language acquisition of French with special focus on morphology and syntax. In my Ph.D thesis (Ågren, 2008) I described how Swedish learners acquire the silent plural morhology of written French. I discussed the developmental sequence of this morhology and investigated the underlying factors that influence the morphological development in this domain.
During the last decade, I have been involved in different research projects investigating language development in different groups of L2 learners, both children and adults. I am currently part of a research project TAL (www.tal.lu.se) where we study the development of oral language proficiency in foreign languages (French, German, Spanish) in the Swedish school context.
