Carlo Cinaglia

I am an Assistant Professor of Second Language Education at Florida State University. I use narrative and discourse analytic research methods to understand and support the experiences of students and teachers engaged in additional language education. I also teach current and future language educators and mentor language education researchers.

Outside of FSU, I am co-editor of the Focus on Practice section of the journal Language Awareness and a member of the organizing team for the 2026 Virtual Conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL).

Before joining FSU, I worked for a number of years as a university lecturer, teaching undergraduate courses in Linguistics, TESOL, Spanish and ESL, and as a community language instructor, developing and teaching ESL classes in various community organizations throughout Philadelphia, PA.

I earned my Ph.D. in Second Language Studies at Michigan State University, my M.S.Ed. in TESOL at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, and my B.A. in Spanish with minors in Linguistics, TESOL, Sociology, Latin American Studies and Faith-Justice Studies at Saint Joseph's University.
