Dr Angeliki Salamoura

Head of Operational Research

Angeliki has over 25 years of experience in the field of English education, as a teacher, researcher, research manager and assessment and learning specialist. As Head of Operational Research at Cambridge English, she leads on research into language learning, integrated learning and assessment, impact and the CEFR. Angeliki also has overall responsibility for education reform projects within the Research and Thought Leadership division, ranging from CEFR familiarisation and benchmarking to test and programme evaluation. In this context, she has led impact assessment projects in the K-12 and vocational sectors in Europe, Asia and South America. She is one of the contributors to the PISA 2025 Foreign Language Assessment Framework and has been on the Experts Group who advised on the constructs of the accompanying PISA 2025 Background Questionnaires.

In the past, Angeliki has also led research within English Profile, an interdisciplinary programme, which aims to exemplify the CEFR for English. Prior to joining Cambridge English, Angeliki held a research position at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Cambridge University, conducting research on language processing and cognition. As an English language teacher in her native Greece, she gained experience with learners across the age range from early primary school to tertiary education. She regularly presents at conferences and delivers training worldwide in her areas of expertise, and has a strong publication record. Angeliki holds a PhD and an MPhil in English and Applied Linguistics from the University of Cambridge.
