Digital reading aloud protocols and its effects on EFL fluency
Language learning technologies for reading skills provide focused, structured, independent practice with integrated feedback and assessment, potentially reducing time and effort for both students and instructors compared to integrating similar in-class activities. Many platforms are designed for L1 English-speaking K-12 students but are less tailored for adult L2 learners in ESL/EFL contexts. While effective in L1 settings, their impact on L2 lea…
Study Abroad Programming in Writing Centers in Colombia and the USA
As a product of both Universidad del Norte and Purdue University engaging in a partnership around shared academic interests, academic study exchanges, and multilingual education, this case study reports on a grant-funded student exchange that used a translanguaging approach to explore how aspects of English and Spanish have an influence on tutor education around writing centers. The first section of the paper describes in detail the exchange prog…
Social Integration and Campus Internationalization Through Performing Arts Volunteerism
In this paper, a case is made that campus internationalization and the social integration of both domestic and international students may be fostered through volunteerism. This argument is supported by data from a survey (n = 122) of a performing arts volunteer organization at a large Midwestern public university. The survey examines the national diversity of the organization, its inclusion practices, and student perceptions of their own cross-na…
Fluency development beyond speech rate
Research on the effectiveness of read aloud protocols to develop EFL fluency has mostly had positive outcomes. However, the impact of these types of interventions in intermediate levels of proficiency has yet to be conclusive when measured using speech rate as a dependent variable, e.g., word correct per minute. We studied how a listener's comprehension and intelligibility might change when read aloud protocols are used to enhance fluency. To do …
Underprepared Overachievers
Given recent study abroad trends, Latin America (LATAM) offers untapped potential to contribute to U.S. campus internationalization. To diversify student populations and increase enrollment from LATAM, stakeholders should consider the language, academic, and cultural experiences of LATAM students admitted to U.S. graduate schools. This study bridges the gap between higher education institutions and potential students. To do so, mixed methods were…

Exploring the effect of corpus-informed and conventional homework materials on fostering EFL students’ grammatical construction learning
Much research has been conducted on whether and to what extent corpus-based materials support more effective EFL learning in comparison to traditional materials. Little is known, however, about the effectiveness of different types of homework materials on students’ grammatical performance. This classroom-based study addressed this gap by examining what effect two types of published materials—corpus-informed (CI) and non-corpus informed (NCI) gram…
