Welcome to my homepage!

 

I am Ulugbek [or Bek], an Associate Professor of TESOL at Northeastern Illinois University, where I teach courses on Second Language Assessment, TESL Methodology, and Academic Reading/Writing. My main research interest is on second language vocabulary, with a particular focus on formulaic language, productive vocabulary skills, and computer-assisted language learning. I have published in these areas in journals including TESOL Journal, ELT Journal, Writing & Pedagogy, and International Journal of Lexicography.
