Nicola Latimer

Dr Nicola Latimer is a research fellow at The Centre for Research in English Language Learning and Assessment (CRELLA) at the University of Bedfordshire. She has 20 years of experience in teaching and assessing English as a second language. Nicola completed her PhD at CRELLA in 2019 and since then has worked on a wide range of research projects. Her research interests include the assessment of reading, writing and listening, and assessments that integrate these skills. Many of Nicola's research projects use technological methods such as eye-tracking and keystroke logging to offer insight into test-takers' processes. Nicola's work has been published in Studies in Language Testing and The International Journal of TESOL. Nicola is currently co-editing a special issue of The International Journal of TESOL (with Sathena Chan) discussing how eye-tracking technology is being used to inform second language teaching and assessment.
