UNIVERSITY OF SZEGED
DOCTORAL SCHOOL IN LINGUISTICS
Máté Huber is a senior assistant professor at the Department of English Language Teacher Education and Applied Linguistics of the University of Szeged. His primary research interest lies in sociolinguistics, more specifically linguistic pluricentricity. As he is a practising language teacher himself in the Hungarian public education system, he is particularly interested in the role of dominant and non-dominant linguistic standards in teaching English and German as foreign languages. In this field, he is an active member of the steering committee of the international Working Group on Non-Dominant Varieties of Pluricentric Languages, organizing conferences and publishing thematic volumes on the topic on a biannual basis since 2014. Apart from linguistic pluricentricity, he also does research and teaches classes on World Englishes, the sociolinguistics of globalization, TEFL Methodology, linguistic discrimination, and the sociolinguistics of the Hungarian language outside of Hungary.
