Applied Linguistics juxtaposes different traditions of intellectual thought and applied linguistic practices. Our departmental roundtable sessions reflect these complex backgrounds. Throughout the semester, presenters will speak about a wide range of topics and introduce us to various methodologies and approaches to analyze data. Faculty and students will report about their ongoing or completed research and afford us with many opportunities to engage in dialogue across different intellectual frameworks. The Spring 2024 sessions are scheduled in 258 Willard Building on selected Fridays from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The February 9 session will be held in 060 Willard at the standard time. The March 1 session will occur concurrently in 258 and 269 Willard Building. Session information is posted in the News and Events section of this website. Here is a session preview for Spring 2024:
