Hyun-Bin Hwang and I are systematically analyzing the pedagogical implications provided in different applied linguistics journals to see exactly how helpful they are (or aren't) to language teachers and other stakeholders. We are currently writing two articles to report our findings in this project. We recently published our first paper in this line of research.
Carlo Cinaglia, Ann Violin-Wigent, and I are working on a series of projects to document language students' development in many skill areas, and to explore whether raising students' awareness of this development will impact their decision to continue language study beyond required coursework.
Along with Kevin Fedewa and Charlene Polio, I am working on a scoping review to map out what research has been done and what research could and should be done next in the area of L2 Reading and Writing for Chinese. We have identified and coded hundreds of studies, and hope to share the results in a publication soon. We shared preliminary findings at the 2022 ACTFL Convention.
We have been working on a program of research related to a year-long TBLT course implementation in China. We are analyzing student learning outcomes (assessment data), student motivation, the teacher's experience implementing TBLT, and preparing reports detailing the course development and implementation process. We shared prelimiary findings in a colloquium at the TBLT conference in Innsbruck, Austria in 2022, and expect to share additional results in different venues soon.
In a recent interview, Dr. Rod Ellis also gave this work a shoutout (p. 280)!
