Dr. Szabo is an expert in TESOL, language education, and applied linguistics, with research interests in vocabulary learning and assessment, multilingual contexts, and emotion vocabulary testing. During his visit, he met with Prof. Lianghuo FAN, Dean of FED to discuss strategic partnerships between UM and the University of Edinburgh, including the exploration of implementing the 1+3 Master’s–PhD Degree Programme. He has also engaged with colleagues across UM, participated in research discussions, and exchanged ideas with members of the Institute of Collaborative Innovation, FAH and FSS.
Prof. Szabo also held a FED-CLLE seminar: “Emotions in English language classrooms – An Insight into Emotion Vocabulary Assessment” on 25 August 2025 at FED. He outlined the core significance of emotion vocabulary in ESL classrooms, showcasing his team’s comprehensive English emotion word list and adaptive vignette-based assessment tools, alongside practical teaching strategies. During Q&A session, the audience discussed issues such as “teacher confidence building” and “cross-cultural applicability,” with Prof. Szabo responding through empirical case studies, resulting in lively and insightful interaction.
At last, Prof. Szabo held meetings with Prof. Chunming WANG, Director of Global Affairs Office and other UM stakeholders to explore opportunities for deeper collaboration between UM and the University of Edinburgh.
