Samira Yaghouti is a Doctoral Researcher in Futures Studies at the Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC), Turku School of Economics, University of Turku. She holds a Master’s degree in English Language Teaching and a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature.
Her research focuses on the future of multilingualism and the evolving role of English in the Nordic context, with particular attention to how societal, technological, and educational developments shape language use, language policy, and multilingual practices over time. She is especially interested in the relationship between English as an international language and national language systems, and in the implications of these dynamics for language education and linguistic sustainability. Her academic trajectory builds on earlier work on the future of English language teaching, which formed the focus of her Master’s thesis.
She also brings over 15 years of professional experience in English language teaching, translation, and language education across diverse contexts and learner groups.
