In her teaching role, Pauline is the Programme Director in the undergraduate speech and hearing sciences degree programme. She is also lecturer and module co-ordinator for the following modules: SL1008 (first year - An Introduction to Language Studies); SL2007 (2nd year - Language Sciences); CT3002 (3rd year - Advanced Research Methods) and SL4003 (fourth year - Research Based Dissertation). Pauline is supervising a number of post-graduate students. She is a member of the Lamh research and development committee and a member of the 'Happy Talk' consortium. She is also a member of the IASLT conference committee. Pauline has reviewed for a number of academic journals in the field of linguistics and speech and language therapy, including the International Journal of Language and communication disorder, The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders and and Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics. Pauline has been a member of the editorial review board for JSLHR.
My primary research interest is in the area of child language development and disorders. I am motivated by the desire to carry out research that has 1) practical application, 2) will result in an equitable, cost-effective and comprehensive public health model of speech and language intervention and 3) will promote robust language development for all children and prevent the negative lifelong consequences for those with or at risk for Developmental Language Disorder (DLD).
I have three large funded projects currently in progress which feed directly into my research program.
Development and evaluation of effective interventions: As PI for the Happy Talk research study (HRB DIFA award 2023 – 2027) I am evaluating an at scale randomized control trial of ‘Happy Talk’ compared to usual care; b) completing a pre-trial process evaluation to inform intervention implementation – examining factors which promote parental engagement and partnership between SLTs and educators and incorporating these into SLT training and future rollouts of the programme; c) completing a concurrent process evaluation from a realist perspective to examine how the mechanisms underpinning Happy Talk are influenced by the implementation context; d) establishing barriers and enablers for clinicians in helping to conduct trials and e) completing an economic evaluation in which the costs and benefits of ‘Happy Talk’ are compared to standard pre/school care. To the best of my knowledge this is the largest paediatric language intervention study completed in Ireland. The study is unique in that the HSE have given it national approval, are active collaborators and we have established a clear pathway to implementation / potential nationwide roll out of the programme.
Identification of children at risk: The TECSE project – (The Test of Complex Syntax: final development phase, standardization and diagnostic accuracy with respect to children with or at risk of developmental language disorder (D)LD), feeds into my agenda to develop effective methods to identify children at risk and will be made available as a commercial tool with a full normative sample in Ireland and an indicative UK sample later this year.
Maximising the benefits of intervention research: As PI for the TICLD project (HRB APRO award Dec 2023 – 2028) I am leading an international group of leaders (and their teams) from 7 countries to ensure that interventions to support language and communication deliver maximum benefit for children with or at risk for developmental language disorder (D)LD. To do this we are developing a set of internationally accepted reporting guidelines that will a) specify the intervention characteristics, participant characteristics and outcomes in children’s oral language intervention studies b) reflect the perspectives of all relevant stakeholders c) enable translation of research into practice through comprehensive training and d) maximise the potential for meta-analysis and international collaboration. Through the development and adoption of standard intervention reporting criteria, we aim to reduce research waste, increase equity, and to overcome barriers for practitioners, services and policy-makers in applying intervention evidence to practice.
An introduction to language studies: This modules involves the application of modern linguistics to the analysis of language.
Language Sciences II: the objective of this module is for students to achieve 1) a level of competence in the analysis of children's language and 2) a strong knowledge of test procedures which can be used to assess child language.
Advanced Research Methods: the objective of this course is to enable students to further understand, analyse and interpret quantitative and qualitative data using appropriate research methods.
UG dissertation supervision: This module involves the completion and write-up of an independent research project. The projects contribute to a significant proportion of each students final degree grade.

Biography
Dr Pauline Frizelle is a senior lecturer at University College Cork and a former speech and language therapy manager, with over 20 years’ experience working with children with a wide range of speech, language and communication needs. In 2008 she was the first speech and language therapist in Ireland to be awarded the Health Research Board fellowship for the therapeutic professions. In 2015 she was awarded an ASSISTid Marie Curie Fellowship to begin the development of an electronic assessment of complex syntax at the University of Oxford. She has since built on this work through a HRB lead investigator award, comparing assessment methodologies and developing a robust and engaging assessment of complex syntax. Pauline is particularly interested in collaborative research projects with clinicians in the community and in the development of robust, theoretically- driven interventions, for children from areas of social disadvantage. She has recently received a 1.3 million Definitive Intervention Feasibility award (DIFA), to complete a full definitive trial on the Happy Talk programme and a 2.5 million award to lead a programme of research to develop consensus on reporting guidelines to be used in language intervention studies, for children with or at risk for (D)LD.In her teaching role, Pauline is the Programme Director in the undergraduate speech and hearing sciences degree programme. She is also lecturer and module co-ordinator for the following modules: SL1008 (first year - An Introduction to Language Studies); SL2007 (2nd year - Language Sciences); CT3002 (3rd year - Advanced Research Methods) and SL4003 (fourth year - Research Based Dissertation).

Teaching Activities
Teaching Interests
Undergraduate TeachingAn introduction to language studies: This modules involves the application of modern linguistics to the analysis of language.
Language Sciences II: the objective of this module is for students to achieve 1) a level of competence in the analysis of children's language and 2) a strong knowledge of test procedures which can be used to assess child language.
Advanced Research Methods: the objective of this course is to enable students to further understand, analyse and interpret quantitative and qualitative data using appropriate research methods.
UG dissertation supervision: This module involves the completion and write-up of an independent research project. The projects contribute to a significant proportion of each students final degree grade.
Postgraduate
Masters Dissertation supervision
I would welcome applications to study with me at a doctoral level in the area of child language development
