Bio

I am a teaching professor of French and Francophone Studies, focusing on teaching, course development and revision through research in applied linguistics and teaching with technology. I work closely with faculty in the department to help provide the best environment possible for teaching and learning and the best experience for students. Currently, my work focuses on the adaptation of coursework, assessment and in-class activities to exploit AI tools, but I acknowledge that many issues come with the use, or not, of AI for the teaching and learning of second, third... languages.

Over the years, I have helped shape the undergraduate curriculum in the Department of Languages, Cultures & Applied Linguistics (LCAL). I have held a variety of administrative positions including director of undergraduate studies and group coordinator for the French and Francophone studies program for more than ten years, and I am currently the advisor for the Applied Multilingual studies major and minor.

I have represented LCAL widely on campus, most recently on the University Education Council, the Dietrich College Council, the Dietrich College committee for the new General Education curriculum and the Dietrich College AI support committee. Currently, in addition to my other duties, I am director and advisor for the master’s program in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition, and I teach in the program as well.
