Breno Barreto Silva

I obtained my PhD from the Faculty of Modern Languages, University of Warsaw in 2021. My research interests focus on lexical learning, especially incidental lexical learning, through reading and writing. My main interest is on how tasks that are commonly used in the classroom facilitate lexical acquisition. As such, I prefer to conduct in-classroom quasi-experiments and incorporate some experimental techniques in the research design. I have received a grant from the National Science Centre (NCN) focused on exploring lexical learning via different types of writing tasks.
