@rclvelasco @ProfeBorden Likewise!

@wsdavisedu @ProfeBorden Congrats! 🎉 Love working in the same department with you both! 🙌🏼

New article with @ProfeBorden in Language, Culture, and Curriculum exploring the resilience of two early career world language teachers over two years. Lots of implications for schools and teacher ed programs. 50 free PDFs available here: tandfonline.com/eprint/IXQMJA4…

@asta_haukas Love this! As someone who mostly does interview research in the area of language teaching & learning, I look forward to reading and discussing it with our grad students.

"Brilliant article - there is so much talk and so many different opinions on how to conduct interviews. The question of presenting interview questions beforehand is rarely discussed." Happy our recently published article is striking a chord with readers✨doi.org/10.1515/eujal-…

Registration closes tomorrow! This Friday, Dr. Tasha Austin and Dr. James Coda will be presenting their work at the @actfl Research SIG "Researcher Spotlight" webinar. ACTFL members can register at "My ACTFL" tab at actfl.org. #langchat

#actfl23 is off to a great start! @wsdavisedu @oueducation

Hey #actfl23! I'll be presenting with @ProfeBorden about our research on novice WL teacher agency, Friday at 11:30am. Lots of implications for WL teacher educators, mentors, and supervisors. #langchat

We're looking for K-12 World Language Teachers to participate. Please share!

New book chapter on the structure and impacts of the LILL world language teacher leadership program! With my co-author, Dr. Brianna Janssen Sánchez, in "Language Teacher Leadership" book edited by @hayoreinders. #langchat link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

@jennysperling Thanks Jenny! Let's talk soon. Also would love to hear more about the ELPS course.

@wsdavisedu I have TONS to share! Sounds similar to a course I hope to teach soon in ELPS!

Next semester I am teaching a new grad course titled Linguistically Sustaining Pedagogies. If you have any recommendations for articles or books, please share! Also looking for people and spaces that are actively sustaining students' unique language practices. Thank you!

@Whitney_405 @OFLTA Well deserved for an incredible language teacher!

It was a really good day. Thank you @oflta for fostering my growth in the noblest of professions.

@SandraNoDuerme @Momademia It was overwhelming and I'm still making sense of it. I was on the TT search and writing dissertation in spring 2020 with a 1yo. 7pm-midnight is when I wrote and applied for positions. Having a supportive partner was essential. Wishing you support, care, and strength!

New practice article in RELC—how can we target that tricky #actfl Communities standard? The paper documents a collaborative German field trip we designed when I was teaching high school in Arkansas. Please message and I can share a preprint copy. doi.org/10.1177/003368…

If you don't have access to the journal, I'm happy to message/email you a pre-print copy!

Sharing out our new mixed methods article in Foreign Language Annals. It was so great to work with two wonderful scholars and co-authors, Drs. Bo Liu and Josephine Kim, on this research. ACTFL members get free access to the journal. doi.org/10.1111/flan.1…

@rclvelasco Thanks Richard!

@wsdavisedu Congrats on your pub! 👏🏼

@ProfeAustin @razz_dent @ClaraBauler Yes, thoughts about school working conditions and treatment of teachers were in students' responses, but less so than we expected. I will try to message you a copy, @razz_dent
