COLLEGE PROFESSORSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS Dana Bourgerie

Michelle James

Humanities+ Public Humanities Award

Humanities+ Student-centered Research Award

Dana Bourgerie is a professor of Chinese in the Department of Asian & Near Eastern Languages. He earned his PhD in East Asian Languages in 1991 from The Ohio State University. He also taught one year at his alma mater before arriving at BYU. He has been a Fulbright Scholar at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, a visiting lecturer at City University of Hong Kong, and is an adjunct professor in the Overseas Education College at Nanjing University in China.

Although Michelle Stott James began her undergraduate studies as a music major, she completed her undergraduate major in German. She has a PhD in German literature with a minor in philosophy from the University of Utah. Since she joined the BYU faculty in 1988, she has taught numerous courses in literature, writing and critical theory. After the publication of her first book, Behind the Mask: Kierkegaard’s Pseudonymic Treatment of Lessing in the “Concluding Unscientific Postscript,” James turned her research interests to early Germanlanguage women writers. Through the Sophie Mentored Research Project, she and her colleagues Rob McFarland and Cindy Brewer have developed the extensive online Sophie Digital Library, and have engaged numerous students in textual preparation, editing, and research. She and her students are currently preparing the Critically Annotated Collected Works of Elisa von der Recke, the first volume of which is nearing completion. In 2016, with Rob McFarland she published an edited collection Sophie Discovers Amerika, and is now collaborating on a companion collection entitled

His research interests are in language variation, sociolinguistics, Chinese dialects (especially Yue), and language acquisition. He is currently researching the language of the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia and nonstandard varieties of Chinese. In addition, he is conducting work on the assessment of advanced Chinese learners. Bourgerie is a past president of the Chinese Language Teachers Association and served as the founding director of the Chinese Flagship Center at BYU from its inception in 2002 until fall 2013.

College Honors and University Awards

Afrika and Alemania. A book chapter, “‘Collaborating with Spirits:’ Cagliostro, Elisa von der Recke, and the Phantoms of Unmündigkeit” written in collaboration with Rob McFarland, has just appeared in the volume Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culture. In 2010, she received a Douglas R. Stewart Teaching and Learning Faculty Fellowship, and in 2018 the Humanities College Excellence in Teaching Award. James served for several years as the German section head, and then as chair of the Department of German & Russian from 2010–2016.

Jon Balzotti Humanities+ Experiential Learning Educator Award Jon Balzotti is an experiential educator and researcher whose scholarship and teaching continues to be shaped by his time as a professional grant writer in Iowa. When he started his PhD program, he wanted to draw on these experiences as a professional writer to understand how “authentic practice” (i.e., key knowledge, skills, habits of mind, values, and epistemologies required for real-world writing) could be taught to young, developing writers. He started to experiment with different simulated environments to see if students could use technology-assisted assignments to develop habits of mind and expertise modeled by professionals.

Since he joined the faculty in June 2014, there have been a number of developments at BYU that supported his interests in experiential learning and research. The first was his department’s English+ initiative. This initiative compelled him to design and build a professional writing internship program at BYU. With the help of his department and BYU’s career services, they recruited more than 60 companies to participate in the program. As this work continues, he hopes to expand this effort to include nonprofit work, particularly with organizations dedicated to community-based improvement projects. This past year, he created Experience, a College of Humanities student journal that publishes essays from students engaged in unique learning experiences that expand and inform their coursework. Through a single story, students focus on one significant moment and let that moment stand in for their time working in an internship or participating in a study abroad program.

Kristin Matthews College Excellence in Teaching Award Kristin L. Matthews is a professor of English, specializing in postWWII American literature. Her work has appeared in various journals, including Book History, American Studies (her article won

BYU College of Humanities Meeting 2019

the Stone-Suderman Prize for best article in 2009), Arizona Quarterly, Modern Drama, Journal of American Culture, and The CEA: Critic. Her book Reading America: Citizenship, Democracy, and Cold War Literature (2016) was published by University of Massachusetts Press as part of its series Studies in Print Culture and History of the Book. Matthews teaches courses in twentieth-century American literature, African American literature, women's literature, and American Studies. She has received various grants, including a Women's Research Initiative Grant, an Albert J. Colton Fellowship from the Utah Humanities Council, and an Undergraduate Education Research Grant. She is the recipient of numerous teaching awards including American Studies Professor of the Year (2016 & 2007), the Ray and Ida Lee Beckham Lectureship in Communication (2015), an Alcuin Fellowship (2013), the Faculty Women’s Association Teaching Award (2012), and the English Department Teaching Award (2008). When she's not reading, writing, or teaching, Matthews enjoys hiking, baking, singing with the Jazz Docs, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers (she's part-owner).

Humanities Professorship (3 years)

Humanities Professorship for Service to the Discipline (3 years)

Kritsana Imvitaya has taught Thai in the Center for Language Studies (CLS) since 1999. Since that time, the Thai program has grown and flourished to the extent that the CLS is now able to offer a Thai language certificate. Imvitaya built the Thai program from the ground up and consistently works to provide the best experience for BYU students. She is currently developing curriculum for THAI 321, which will be a requirement for the language certificate. She consistently receives high student ratings and cares deeply about her students. Imvitaya has made considerable sacrifices to teach here at BYU, as she consistently teaches three classes per semester while concurrently working in the State of Utah Department of Human Services Division of Juvenile Justice Services in North Salt Lake and Ogden. She has also been very involved in organizations supporting the Asian community in Utah, including the Asian Association of Utah and Thai Language Translation Department for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Imvitaya is originally from Thailand and graduated with a master’s degree in social work from the University of Utah. She also holds bachelor’s degrees from both the University of Utah and Chiengmai University in Thailand.

David B. Honey has taught classical Chinese language and literature at BYU for the last 32 years. His experience as a missionary in Hong Kong exerted such a profound impact on his life expectations and even values that, upon his return in 1976, he forsook his plan to major in violin performance and instead earned a BA in Oriental Languages from UCLA in 1980, then completed his MA in Classical Chinese at UC Berkeley in 1984. He twice served as the Chinese section head, conducted seven study abroad programs in Nanjing, and is currently the chairman of the department Rank and Status Committee. He has taught graduate seminars in Chinese literature, classical scholarship, and the history of Western sinology at Nanjing University and Tunghai University in Taichung, Taiwan. Honey is married to Lu Yichin from the bucolic coastal community of Yilan, Taiwan. Together they have two teenage boys who speak fluent Mandarin but prefer to study Japanese Kanji rather than Chinese Hanzi to better understand Japanese anime.

Blair Bateman joined the faculty of the Department of Spanish & Portuguese in 2002 after completing a PhD in Second Languages and Cultures Education at the University of Minnesota. He teaches classes for prospective and current language teachers at the BA and MA levels and supervises student teachers and graduate student instructors in Portuguese. His areas of research include the teaching of culture and language immersion education. His efforts to promote the teaching of Portuguese include authoring the college’s Computerized Language Instruction and Practice Software (CLIPS) in Portuguese and the textbook Perspectivas: Português para falantes de espanhol. Bateman has served as an associate department chair since 2014. He cochaired the BYU Secondary Education Committee from 2009 to 2012 and was the 2011 recipient of the Benjamin Cluff Jr. Distinguished Teacher Educator Award. He currently serves as program coordinator for the Dual Language Immersion K–12 teaching minor, as cochair of the Academic Environment Committee on the Faculty Advisory Council (FAC), and as president-elect of the Utah

BYU College of Humanities Meeting 2019

Foreign Language Association, as well as a member of the violin section of the Orchestra at Temple Square. He enjoys road-trips throughout the West and can often be found visiting small-town historical museums and ghost towns, as well as traveling Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway.

Don Chapman Humanities Center Fellow (1 year) Don Chapman specializes in the history of the English language, particularly Old English. He holds a PhD in Medieval Studies from the University of Toronto, 1995, MA in English from BYU, 1990, and BS in Computer Science from BYU, 1987.

Bob Hudson Humanities Center Fellow (1 year) Bob Hudson, associate professor of French, earned his PhD in French & Francophone Studies at UCLA and joined the BYU Department of French & Italian in 2008. He regularly teaches courses on literary analysis, early modern French civilization, and French & Italian cinema. Hudson’s research focuses primarily on the lyric and other poetic traditions of Renaissance France as it seeks to reveal an undercurrent of earthy Gallicism within the largely Italian-influenced imitative verse of vernacular poets from the reign of François I. He has

published articles on Clément Marot, Pontus de Tyard, Pierre de Ronsard, Marguerite de Navarre, and François Rabelais, appearing in venues such as Romanic Review, French Forum, Nottingham French Studies and the University of Toronto’s Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies. Hudson is currently working to complete a manuscript under contract with the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) for a book-length English-language translation and critical edition of Clément Marot’s Verse Epistles. A proud Kentuckian and humanistic bon vivant, Hudson enjoys stand-up comedy, country music, Mediterranean cooking, and various forms of football (NFL, rugby, soccer, etc.). Hudson serves on the 16th-Century French Forum executive committee for MLA, is the director of MARS (BYU Medieval & Renaissance Studies), and is editor-in-chief of Lingua Romana: A Journal of French, Italian and Romanian Culture.

College Honors and University Awards

COLLEGE LECTURESHIPS Jeff Turley James Barker Lectureship Jeff Turley, professor of Spanish linguistics, began his career at BYU more than 30 years ago after completing a PhD in Romance Philology from the UC Berkeley. He has taught a wide range of Spanish courses over the years, ranging from medieval Spanish literature to Spanish phonetics, usage, theoretical syntax, and the history of Spanish and the Romance languages. His scholarship is also broad in scope: his early publications centered on the Spanish pronoun system, but during the last third of his career he has concentrated on transcribing and translating early-modern manuscripts dealing with the Iberian expansion in Asia. His two most recent monographlength publications are, first, the transcription/translation of the socalled Boxer Codex, a sixteenth-century Spanish-language anthology that was produced in the Philippines and which describes sixteen Asian polities and, second, a translation of a lengthy and substantive seventeenth-century memoir by García de Silva y Figueroa, Spanish ambassador to Shah Abbas I of Persia. Over the years, Turley and his family have forged close ties with

students while directing study abroad and internship programs in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Spain. His hobbies include playing keyboard instruments (classical and jazz) and hiking, cycling, and rock climbing with his wife, Susan Quebbeman.

Francesca Lawson P.A. Christensen Lectureship Francesca R. Sborgi Lawson received an undergraduate degree in harp performance from BYU, a master's degree in ethnomusicology from UCLA, and a PhD in ethnomusicology from the University of Washington in Seattle. She conducted research on the inter-relationships of language and music in the narrative arts of Tianjin, China, as a Fulbright-Hays and National Academy of Sciences Research Fellow. She was also a President’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at UC Berkeley, and taught courses in the Asian humanities and in gender–music relationships at Columbia University in New York City. Formerly the Humanities Professor of Ethnomusicology, she is currently the section head of Interdisciplinary Humanities in the Department of

BYU College of Humanities Meeting 2019

Comparative Arts & Letters. She regularly teaches classes on the interdisciplinary relationships among the Arts; the humanities of South Asia; and the performance of gender in theater and music. She has also mentored students from engineering, food science, information technology, anthropology, and premed studies in a variety of research projects that have intersected with her own interests in music, science, and East and South Asia. Her ongoing research interests include the interplay between music and language, the cultural and biological implications of the gendered voice, and the divergence between cultural and neurological perspectives on music and consciousness. Her first book, The Narrative Arts of Tianjin: Between Music and Language, was published by Ashgate in 2011 as part of the SOAS Musicology Series; and her second book, The Women of Quyi: Liminal Voices and Androgynous Bodies, was published as part of Routledge’s Ethnomusicology Series in 2017. As the 2015 winner of the Jaap Kunst prize for the most significant article published in the field of ethnomusicology, she continues to pursue research that straddles the boundaries between music and science. She is currently engaged in a project that uses acoustical and linguistic software

to study the nuanced ways in which audiences communicate with musicians during the course of performance.

College Honors and University Awards

UNIVERSITY AWARDS Nick Mason Wesley P. Lloyd Award for Distinction in Graduate Education During twenty years on BYU’s faculty, Mason has made an indelible impact on scores of master's students and a departmental graduate program that is among the largest and most vibrant at the university.

Erika Price Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award After teaching freshman and advanced writing for 15 years, Erika Price's teaching motto has become “Enter to learn, go forth to serve through the written word.” For her, teaching writing isn't just about getting students to be

good writers but getting students to write for the good. To this end, Erika's students engage in semester-long projects to improve their world through writing, from petitioning Congress for legislative action, to recording personal histories for the elderly, to writing letters to the incarcerated. Semester after semester, Erika's students say they never knew writing could be so powerful— or enjoyable.

Mary Eyring BYU Class of 1949 Endowed Young Faculty Award Mary Eyring teaches in English and American Studies. Since 2014, she has mentored graduate students and undergraduate students, designed innovative courses in early American literature and early American studies, and researched and published about American maritime experience, disability, women’s literary and cultural productions, and Puritan literature.

Faculty Advisory Council Report

FACULTY ADVISORY COUNCIL REPORT Five representatives from the College of Humanities served on the FAC during the 2018–19 academic year: Blair Bateman (Spanish & Portuguese) cochaired the Academic Environment Committee, and Anca Sprenger (French & Italian) also served on this committee; Charlotte Stanford (Comparative Arts & Letters) and Brian Jackson (English) served on the Teaching Committee; and Heather Belnap (Comparative Arts & Letters) served on the Compensation and Benefits Committee. Each year the standing committees of the FAC compile and submit proposals to the University President and AVP Council. This year the FAC committees submitted ten proposals, summarized below. §§ Inclusive building names: Proposal to address the current gender imbalance in the naming of campus buildings by replacing honorific building names (those named after individuals) with names that are descriptive of building function (e.g., “Life Sciences Building”). Currently 53 academic buildings have descriptive names, while 27 are named after white males and only two are named after white females. §§ Diversity and community: Proposal to require students to complete at least one course from a menu of courses geared toward helping students understand the perspectives of someone who has very different life experiences from their own in terms of race, gender, or sexuality. §§ Exploratory committee for campus child care: Proposal to form a committee comprising members of the FAC, SAC, AAC, and university administration to conduct a one-year study on the need for child care among BYU students and employees. §§ Accommodation process and letters for faculty: Proposal to revise the accommodation process for faculty members with physical disabilities and mental health concerns by improving diagnosis and providing documentation of recommended accommodations that faculty could use in the Rank and Status review process. §§ Healthy food options on campus: Proposal to increase the availability of healthy food options in the Cougareat and other, smaller dining venues on campus, including vegetables, healthy ethnic foods, and locally grown foods.

BYU College of Humanities Meeting 2019

§§ Supporting first-generation college students: Proposal to develop a campuswide initiative to support and recruit first-generation college students, including the creation of a first-generation student center on campus. §§ Student rating instrument for online classes: Proposal to study differences among student evaluations of online and face-to-face classes, and to potentially develop a separate student rating instrument that is specifically tailored to online classes. §§ Best practices for adjuncts: Proposal to form an ad hoc committee to study policies related to adjunct faculty, including “best practices” from departments with progressive adjunct policies, implementation of federal laws applicable to adjuncts, and survey data on adjunct attitudes, job satisfaction, and suggestions. §§ Retired faculty library privileges: Recommendation that the “retirement checklist” be revised to inform retiring faculty that they may obtain continued access to online journals and databases. §§ Critical response resource guide: Proposal to assemble resources, or gather existing resources into a single location, that would guide faculty in responding to natural, technological, or human-caused campus-wide threats, as well as to incidents that may cause emotional or mental trauma (including suicide).

College Centers and Services

COLLEGE CENTERS AND SERVICES Arabic Flagship Center

Chinese Flagship Center

3122 JKB

The Arabic Flagship Center just completed its first year of operation at BYU. The program provided tutorial services to a number of students, did extensive recruitment, made significant improvement to the first- and secondyear Arabic curriculum, sponsored various cultural activities, and brought in specialists to lead an intensive orientation for students heading for the Flagship overseas program. A Boren Scholarship was awarded to Steven Tibbits, a Middle East Studies/ Arabic major, who just began his year-long study in Meknes, Morocco. With him is linguistics major, Micah Wood. Both are Arabic second majors now participating in Flagship courses and other activities, including an internship, designed to take them to professional-level proficiency. A group of students on campus preparing to go to Morocco next year completed an Arabic “Law and Religion” seminar during spring term that had them reading legal documents, novels, and more. Also, 42 students will be studying in Amman, Jordan, in the fall. We therefore anticipate a good BYU showing in Morocco next year.

The Chinese Flagship Center had about 40 participants, including six students, Lindsay Walker, Nathan Jensen, Danny Dawson, Travis Oldham, Cameron Stewart, and Joseph Wuthrich, who attended the Overseas Chinese Flagship Capstone Program in 2018–19. Students at BYU attended advanced Chinese Flagship courses, including a 490R individualized language course designed to teach professional language skills in the student’s major and a 311R conversation and debate course. One of the program highlights this year was a Boren Scholarship awarded to Brayden Sampson, an advanced Chinese Flagship student. Sampson is from Utah, a history and Chinese major, who is scheduled to attend the overseas program at Nanjing University in China in 2019–20. The scholarship will be of great assistance while he devotes his time to study in China. While there, Sampson and his other overseas Flagship classmates, Peter Rosen, McKay Christianson, Dexter Murray, and Michael Ensign will enroll in Flagship-designed courses, enroll directly in their major courses at Nanjing University, participate in a service practicum, and complete a full-time, four-month internship in a Chinese company.

The ELC also sponsors a Study Buddy Program, which provides BYU foreign language students with unique opportunities to interact with native speakers in their target language.

Global Women’s Studies 216 HRCB Global Women’s Studies moved to our new “home base” in the Kennedy Center in 2018, with the goal to give our students the ability to explore more gender issues across the globe and be more vigilant in embracing “Inspiring Learning” experiences. Our program will continue to be under the umbrellas of FHSS and Humanities. Affiliation with Global Women’s Studies is open to all BYU faculty members whose teaching, research,

and/or service activities involve global or domestic women’s issues and/or contributions. Please email womensstudies@byu.edu for more information on becoming an affiliate.

Humanities Center 4103 JFSB The Humanities Center commences its eighth year, remarkably enough. As ever, we have some great events lined up. §§ Our theme this year is a sequel to last year’s, though with a different twist, taking up the intersection of ecocriticism and interfaith dialogue. We’re titling our theme “On Being Vulnerable, Part II: Faith after the Anthropocene,” and will hold a symposium near the beginning of the semester: September 13–14. We have some wonderful scholars presenting—ecocritics, literary scholars, and theologians. §§ Our (nearly) weekly colloquia will kick off September 19 with our own Greg Thompson (Spanish & Portuguese). A great lineup of colleagues and invited guests will follow. Please join us Thursdays at 3 p.m. in 4010 JFSB. §§ We will hold our usual cluster of “Conversations” meetings bringing attention to issues and dynamic research across the humanities, with scholars usually joining us via

BYU College of Humanities Meeting 2019

Skype. The first of these meetings is scheduled for October 4. §§ We will enjoy a special visit by the philosopher Todd May on November 8. In recent years May has published a number of large-minded and meaningful books, among them A Fragile Life and A Decent Life. We will order several copies of one of these books and discuss them with May; he will also give a lecture titled “Moral Vulnerability in a Time of Political Crisis.” §§ The Faith and Imagination series will bring two wonderful guests to campus, both (we believe) during the winter semester. One of them, Sarah McFarland Taylor, is associate professor of religious studies at Northwestern and will visit us in January or February. The other, Barbara Newman, is professor of English and religion, and John Evans Professor of Latin, also at Northwestern. Newman will be here in March. §§ A s always, opportunities abound for faculty. We will be taking our usual applications for research groups, book manuscript workshops, one-year fellowships, our applied humanities research group, and our annual theme and accompanying symposium. We’ll have more on all these things in coming weeks.

§§ A lso, keep an eye out for (what used to be called) the annual ORCA Symposium (now, what, the HumGrant Symposium? We can find a better name) on Nov. 1, general workshops, special guest lecturers, and other events. Thank you, everyone, for supporting the intellectual life of our vibrant college!

Faculty Publishing Service 4092 JKB The Faculty Publishing Service (FPS) continues to offer a variety of publishing-related services to members of the College of Humanities, as well as to other entities across campus. In addition to editing books, articles, and other documents, the FPS team can design and typeset books and journals, create indexes, manage image permissions, transcribe interviews, and help with many other tasks. Typically, student interns are the first members of the FPS team to work on a project. Then, professional editors review the content and make any additional changes needed. As a result, the finished product meets high-quality standards and the interns receive feedback on how to continue refining their skills. Thanks to financial support from the College of Humanities, faculty in the college can use the service for free. If you have any questions or would like to request assistance on a project, please contact Suzy Bills (suzy_bills@byu.edu).

International Cinema 3182 JFSB and 250 KMBL The International Cinema (IC) program wants to thank all of you who contributed to last year’s celebration of IC’s 50th anniversary. During the 2018–19 academic year, IC screened 103 films in 35 different languages to almost 14,000 cinemagoers. We hosted 26 Wednesday lectures that introduced and contextualized the films, a podcast about the films being screened, as well as 15 post-screening discussions and special events celebrating the history of the program. We look forward to working with you to make the next half-century as good as the last one. This last year IC, with the help of the college Web Team, launched a redesigned website at ic.byu.edu, where you can find more information about the films, screening times, reports on the lectures, and a new archive section that will allow for you to see semester and weekly posters back to the early 1970s. This year’s schedule is even more exciting than the last as we continue to seek out the best in international film, including many films not available on disc or through streaming services. Some of the things to watch for this fall include: §§ IC Kick-off Friday, Sept. 6: IC will introduce its fall lineup with prizes, treats, and showings of two of the most popular films from last winter

semester, Transit (Christian Petzold, German/French, 2018) and Mirai (Mamodu Hosada, Japanese, 2018); §§ The continuation of our weekly documentary series with films about pressing and current topics from around the world; §§ IC’s lecture series every Wednesday during the fall and winter semesters at 5 p.m. in 250 KMBL, featuring internationally renowned speakers from on and off campus to talk about the films (see ic.byu.edu for details about the speakers for each week); §§ Post-screening discussions. See website for weekly schedules; §§ The second season of IC’s weekly podcast “From the Booth,” where we discuss the films at IC, suggest what to watch for in coming attractions, and talk about IC films with special guests. You can subscribe at ic.byu.edu or through any of the major podcast services; §§ Semester film series, including International Noir, Cultures of the Chinese Diaspora, Representing Race, War and Memory, Complex Mother(s), Bridges and Walls, and Architecture. See a complete schedule for fall 2019 at ic.byu.edu or by picking up a semester poster outside the IC office in 3182 JFSB. We love to hear from you if you have ideas about how to

Liberal Arts Advisement & Careers 1041 JFSB The primary goals of the Liberal Arts Advisement and Careers Center (LAAC) are to help students make educated and informed decisions about their education and experiential learning opportunities and help them understand that their time at BYU is an opportunity to develop skills and competencies needed for life and work. We work to help them set goals and approach their opportunities with intention. We also teach them how to reflect on their goals, experiences, and coursework, and to articulate their value in meaningful ways. This is how we help them become career-ready. The LAAC is responsible for three professional clubs: Translation and Localization, Humanities to Business, and Medical Humanities. The Translation and Localization Club is now seven years old, and in 2018–19 they hosted the first-ever Translation Week, which included Sister Reyna Aburto of the General Relief Society Presidency as the keynote. In addition, they hosted

College Centers and Services

another successful LocLand event, as well as collaborated on a translation project with the UN Civil Society Conference. The Humanities to Business Club is in its sixth year and is more than 500-members strong. This year they hope to expand their reach to all liberal arts students as they continue to find opportunities to bridge the gap between the liberal arts and business. In its second year, the Medical Humanities Club is focusing on growth and reaching those in the liberal arts student body desiring a career in the medical field. They are hosting successful events and networking with professionals.

Office of Digital Humanities

During the past academic year, more than 300 liberal arts students interned in 20 countries, throughout the US, and in Utah.

Research and Writing Center 3340 HBLL, rwc.byu.edu, 2-1885 In August 2018, the BYU Writing Center moved from the JKB and now operates out of its new, expanded library location: the Research and Writing Center (RWC). The RWC provides a supportive and resource-rich environment where trained undergraduate consultants collaborate with students across campus to increase awareness, abilities, and confidence in any part of the research and writing process. Students can drop-in or schedule an appointment for an in-person or online consultation. Consultants help students understand assignment expectations, use library resources to locate sources, consider a reader’s response to their writing, discuss and model revision strategies, and learn how to become self-editors. The RWC provides access to nearly 60 handouts on topics ranging from types of writing to grammar and usage, as well as reference materials and style handbooks (APA, Chicago, MLA, and more).

For faculty, the RWC offers §§ in-class visits to introduce students to RWC services; §§ email notification of student visits; §§ handouts, resources, and presentations to support classroom instruction; §§ and training for writing consultants on specific genres and writing assignments.

Jing Leng—Teaching Mandarin and introducing the splendid Chinese culture are always the interests of my life. I also have an interest in discovering and studying the relationship between the evolution of Chinese language and characters and the sociohistorical development. My other areas of interest include practicing calligraphy and cooking Chinese food from different regions. My graduate degree is in bilingual/ ESL education, and after obtaining it, I followed my desire to gain more work experience and academic study focusing on language education and multicultural comparison. Shinsuke Tsuchiya received his PhD in Japanese Language Pedagogy from The Ohio State University and his MA in Second Language Acquisition from BYU.

Introductions

speakers, heritage speakers, and non-L1 English nonnative speakers of Japanese. Tsuchiya’s dissertation explored how language teachers and students perceive “native” and “nonnative” speakers of the target language (i.e. Japanese and Chinese), and how their perceptions are related to their background characteristics, such as their first language and ethnicity. His current research deals with the social interactions of language facilitators and learners in the Japanese House in Foreign Language Student Housing. His research also focuses on L2 Japanese narratives and measuring L2 Japanese proficiencies. He is a certified ACTFL OPI Tester. In his spare time, he enjoys running, drawing, watching TV dramas and movies, and teaching Japanese to children. He and his wife Alyssa have three children.
