Biography

Irene Simonsen is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark. Her research areas include text linguistics, genre linguistics, pragmatics, grammar, phraseology, stylistics, corpus linguistics, and the contrastive German-Danish perspective. She employs corpus-based analyses to examine authentic language contexts, with a focus on how reproducible linguistic units facilitate the didacticization of exercise types for written output from L2 learners. She is particularly interested in developing L2 teaching strategies, particularly in vocabulary acquisition and writing pedagogy. Currently, her research also spans the development of phraseodidactics in foreign language teaching, the intersections of L2 literacy with artificial intelligence, and pedagogical developments bridging Danish and German, underscoring the nuances of language development in learners from these backgrounds.
