I was thrilled to travel to Jakarta, Indonesia with Dr. Francis Troyan, Dr. Ivan Stefano, and Dr. Yuseva Iswandari for the Innovative Pedagogy for Teaching English (IPTE 2024) program. This was a week-long microcredential program for Indonesian primary teachers working with the new Kurikulum Merdeka, and a collaboration between OSU Buckler Center and the Indonesian Ministry of Education.
The OSU College of Education & Human Ecology organized a panel on “Navigating the World of AI in Education,” moderated by Dr. Detra Price-Dennis, director of our Center of Digital Learning and Innovation.
The American Association of Applied Linguistics (AAAL) 2024 conference was held in Houston, Texas March 16-19, 2024. I presented recent paper on the translanguaging corriente with co-author Dr. Melissa Adams-Corral (UT-RGV) and another presentation with my doctoral student Onur Özkaynak on language ideologies and Global Englishes. Angel Lin and I were also the discussants on the panel “Borderlands Multilingualism as a Transformative Educational Space” organized by Jia Li and Peter De Costa.
These are the workshop materials for the translanguaging and GenAI workshops for educators from Pangasinan State University and Commission of Higher Education, Region I in Lingayen, Pangasinan. This is my last workshop as an English Language Specialist here in the Philippines. To all the teachers, students, and administrators I’ve had the chance to work with for the past two weeks – Salamat po!
