Investigating Language Use in Study Abroad
Wednesday + Thursday, June 25-26, 2008..... 9:00am - 4:30pm

Participants in this workshop will explore three trends in research on language learning in study abroad: 1) investigation of sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of language development; 2) scrutiny of communicative settings, including the classroom and the home stay; and 3) inquiry into language socialization and learner identity. Discussion will focus first on the implications of this research for the design and enhancement of study abroad programs and on meeting the needs of students before, during, and after their sojourn abroad. The focus will then turn to approaches directly involving students in research on language use and ethnographic observation in study abroad settings.

Presenter: Celeste Kinginger, Penn State University
PA teachers: ACT 48 - 12 hrs
Program Cost: $80
