Dr. Ziegler鈥檚 research program focuses on adult and child instructed second language acquisition (SLA), including mixed method and interdisciplinary research in L2 conversational interaction, task-based language teaching (TBLT), and computer-assisted language learning (CALL). Her current research examines task-based interaction and the role of corrective feedback in traditional and computer-mediated contexts, including video and text-chat, on learners鈥� perceptions, attitudes, and L2 development, as well as the use of synthetic and meta-analytic approaches to improving the methodological quality and reporting practices in SLA and CALL research. Dr. Ziegler is also interested in the quantitative and qualitative exploration of the lexical, socio-pragmatic, and cross-cultural issues of language use within the commercial shipping industry, focusing on the development of authentic task-based teaching materials based on the linguistic, communicative, and pragmatic needs of this unique context.
