Location: Room 20

This study explored doctoral students’ construction of and participation in a community of practice in a course on educational technology use in second/foreign language (SL/FL) education. Findings indicate the participants identified themselves as members of a supportive family of language professionals and nascent academics. Multimodal projects they completed in their course served as testaments to their evolving status as developing experts in both these fields. Implications for practice and research are also discussed.

    I am interested in language education and language teacher education. In particular, I would like to do more research on multimodal literacy and applications of Systemic Functional Linguistics in L2 literacy education.
