Inez De Florio (born 1943) is a German applied linguist and educational psychologist whose work focuses on science-oriented teaching and learning with particular reference to multilingualism and intercultural competence. She is a proponent of (qualitative and quantitative) empirical research. Above all, her critical view of evidence-based education leads her to a particular focus on individual aspects of teachers, learners and their learning contexts.
In her introduction to ''Teaching and Learning English in the Digital Age'' (2018), she exemplifies how to implement digital media in foreign language classrooms. Furthermore, she shows that the rapidly increasing influences of digitization will inevitably lead to more internationalized and globalized research-orientated teaching and learning approaches.
Recently, she has focused on newer teaching methods as well as different forms of feedback.
