Dr Bettina Beinhoff is a Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and English Language. Bettina holds a PhD in Applied Linguistics and an MPhil in English and Applied Linguistics from the University of Cambridge.

Her main research interests are in the areas of sociolinguistics, second language acquisition, discourse analysis, phonetics and phonology and include:

• The influence of attitudes on second language acquisition processes
• The negotiation of identities in cross-cultural and intercultural settings
• The acceptability of accents in social contexts
• The structure of non-native speaker accents of English; the interrelation of production and perception in acquiring second language speech
