“Learning to Unlearn Colonial Fear: A Pedagogy of Sumud as Linguistic Citizenship Among Palestinian Youth in Israel”
Muzna Awayed-Bishara, Tel Aviv University
The Center for Language Acquisition is pleased to announce 2023 Penn State Workshop in Research Methods for Applied Linguists:
Theory and practice in interview research for applied linguists
Instructor: Kathryn Roulston, University of Georgia
This workshop provides participants with a theoretically-informed guide to interview practice that will assist applied linguists to develop as reflective researchers who design high quality research projects that use interviews. I invite researchers who use interviews and focus groups to consider the connections between theory and practice and critically examine how interview data are used to develop knowledge about the social world. The workshop will review an approach that entails researchers considering three interrelated issues—namely, how they theorize research interviews, reflect on their subject positions in relation to the project and participants, and examine the details of interview interaction to inform practice. The workshop will address different theoretical conceptions of the research interview that underlie interviewing practice, including neo-positivist, romantic, constructionist, transformative, postmodern, decolonizing and Indigenous and post qualitative approaches. The theoretical conceptualization of interview used by researchers has implications for how interviews are designed and conducted and how data are analyzed and represented. Participants will engage in practical activities that will encourage reflection concerning their relationships with participants and implications for research design; examine how interview data might be analyzed methodologically to inform research design; and discuss strategies used by qualitative researchers to demonstrate quality. Through developing sophisticated understandings of qualitative interview practice, researchers position themselves to design and conduct quality research projects that provide audience members and communities with significant findings concerning social problems.

“Teaching Language Through the Lens of Social Justice”
Pamela Wesely (The University of Iowa) and Cassandra Glynn (Concordia College)
More information will be shared as we get closer to the event.
The School of Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures invites you to participate in the annual Marathon Read, which will take place on Thursday, September 21 from 9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. in a tent on Pattee Mall, in front of Pattee Library and between Sparks and Burrowes buildings. As in previous years, the Marathon Read is a public event that aims to promote the shared pleasure and value of reading by inviting people of all ages to read aloud, in English or another spoken language, for about five minutes. This year the event celebrates the theme “Arrivals: Borders and Belongings” with topics including immigration journeys, arriving at new horizons in actual or imaginary journeys, cultural assimilation and acculturation (or resistance), language learning, and community identity through different types of literary works—graphic novels, speculative fiction, children’s books, poems, plays, memoirs, novels, (auto)biographies. If you don’t have a work on this theme at hand, we’ll gladly supply a brief reading for you. No preparation needed!
Network with federal, state, and local agencies for internships, jobs, and career information. Over forty agencies will attend. Visit with law enforcement, courts, county human resource departments, and federal agencies.

“Corpus Linguistics and Triangulation”
Jesse Egbert, Northern Arizona University
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the variety of ways that corpora and corpus linguistic research methods can be triangulated with other data and methods in linguistics. Methodological triangulation has been used for decades by social scientists as a means of explaining behavior by studying it from two or more perspectives. It is becoming increasingly common in empirical linguistics and applied linguistics for researchers to triangulate corpus linguistics with methods and data from other research areas in linguistics. This workshop will begin with a survey of corpus linguistic research methods, both quantitative and qualitative. We will explore the strengths and limitations of these various methods, as well as how they have been used (or could potentially be used) to answer linguistic research questions. Building on this foundation, we will turn our attention to how corpora and corpus linguistic methods can be triangulated with other data and methods in the broader field of linguistics. There are three goals for this portion of the class: (1) Showcase a variety of state of the art research methods in linguistics outside of the realm of corpus linguistics (CL); (2) Explore a wide range of empirical studies in linguistics which triangulate non-CL methods with CL methods; (3) Investigate the extent to which non-CL research methods can complement CL methods to enhance our understanding of linguistic processes, variation, and applications.
More information will be shared as we get closer to the reading.
