I am Professor of ESL/EFL Teacher Professional Development in the Department of Instructional Systems Technology (IST) in the School of Education, Indiana University. (I was formerly in the Department of Literacy, Culture & Language Education (LCLE)). My research focuses on the different types of pedagogical insight that emerges from formal and informal educational experiences of new and experienced second/foreign language teachers. I also research the pedagogy and practice of online second/foreign language teacher education. 

​

I  teach courses related to research on language teacher education and professional development, EFL/ESL instruction and assessment approaches, content-based language instruction and teaching English in Global Contexts. I usually assume a blended load i.e. I teach face-to-face (on- campus), online and/or hybrid classes (combined on-campus and online classes).
