The American Center and U.S. Embassy English Language Office are excited to invite you to a lecture on English language teaching and learning, which will focus on digital literacy – the use of digital technologies for second language writing development (e.g., digital storytelling, use of apps and video making to advance academic essay writing).
If you are a student, teacher, university professor or researcher interested in most recent trends in EFL teaching, join us for a meeting with English Language Specialist M. Sidury Christiansen.
M. Sidury Christiansen, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of TESOL/Applied Linguistics at the University of Texas at San Antonio and a former Fulbright Scholar. Her research interests include sociolinguistics and digital literacies, especially on learners’ engagement with each other in digital spaces. She explores the intersections between literacy and language ideologies, identities, and culture online. Her publications have appeared in journals such as Written Communication, Writing & Pedagogy, Journal of Sociolinguistics, and the Journal of Response to Writing.
