Research interests
Yuliya continues exploring classroom-relevant issues in language teaching and learning, informed by the intersections of complexity theory and socio-cultural theory. Analysing classroom interactions through the lens of socio-cultural theory offers guidance on improving both classroom experiences of the system agents (learners, teachers, teacher candidates) and their learning outcomes.
