I am Bashar Farran, and I have a PhD in Linguistics (Experimental Phonetics and Phonology) from Pannonia University, where I graduated summa cum laude. My Master's degree is in Applied Linguistics and Translation. My research interests lie in the interaction between phonetic and phonological processes, cognitive and social factors, and the pedagogical implications of FL acquisition. I am passionate about advancing the scientific understanding of how humans learn and use languages and applying this knowledge to improve language teaching and learning practices within an experimental approach. As a research assistant at The Works Research Institute, I contribute to developing and implementing experimental studies on human homeostasis utilizing brain-imaging experiments. I am also leading other projects about the perception, production, and learning of English as a foreign language (EFL) by speakers of different native languages. For this purpose, I mainly employ PsychoPy, E-Prime, and MATLAB software to create experimentation paradigms.
