My research interests involve pre-service and in-service teacher education, more specifically teacher competence, teacher efficacy and teacher beliefs/practices. I am also interested in self-regulated language learning, Extramural English and psychological constructs that are relevant to the teaching and learning English as a foreign language with special emphasis on speaking as a language skill. 

In Karlstad University, I am carrying out a postdoctoral research with Dr. Pia Sundqvist on Extramural English. 

I work as a lecturer at English language teaching department at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. Over the years, I have taught various courses in the pre-service teacher education programme including:

-Teaching Language Skills,

- ELT Methodology,

- Oral Communication Skills,

- Reflective Practice in English Language Teaching, School Experience and Teaching Practicum.

I also taught an MA course on Qualitative Research in Language Studies. 

I supervised the following MA dissertations: 

Cengizhan, M. (2019). The role of out-of-class activities in improving ELT students’ vocabulary knowledge. Unpublished MA dissertation, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. 

Kök, M. (2020). The Critical Thinking Dispositions of Preparatory Students and Its Role on Improving English Language Competence. Unpublished MA dissertation, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University.
