A cutting- edge scholar in the use of eye-tracking, she began doing eye-movement research during her doctoral studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in Belgium, and is currently the co-director of the Second Language Studies Eye-tracking Lab (with Paula Winke). Dr. Godfroid specializes in cognitive processes in second language acquisition, teaching courses on L2 psycholinguistics, statistics, eye-tracking, vocabulary acquisition and advanced research. In her research, Dr. Godfroid attempts to bridge the gap between psycholinguistics and actual second language learning, especially focusing on (a) attention, awareness and the ‘Noticing Hypothesis’, (b) implicit and explicit learning and memor y, (c) incidental vocabulary acquisition while reading, and (d) automatization.
