Profile
I am a PhD researcher in Language Education at the School of Education, University of Leeds. Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Indonesia, fully funds my doctoral study. I have worked as a teacher educator in the English Education Department at UNS since April 2015.
My teaching and research centre on technology in English language teaching. I have used virtual learning environments, blended learning, mobile apps, and augmented and virtual reality with student teachers and school teachers.
At UNS, I have led or taken part in more than 30 research and community service projects since 2017. Many of them trained English teachers in Central Java to use digital tools. Others produced systematic literature reviews on mobile-assisted language learning and flipped classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the University of Leeds, I research technology-enhanced language teaching and learning, language teacher cognition, and teacher professional development.

Current research project
- PhD project: Exploring Indonesian pre-service EFL teachers’ cognition and practices of Generative AI-assisted teaching. I follow 94 Indonesian pre-service English teachers across micro-teaching and the teaching practicum. I combine three waves of AI-TPACK and Technology Acceptance Model questionnaires with six longitudinal case studies. The case studies draw on interviews, stimulated recall, classroom observation and reflective journals.
