Workshop 1:

Digital Technology and Language Learning led by Dr. Emily Hellmich, Assistant Professor of French and SLAT, University of Arizona

Digital technologies have dramatically impacted where and how second/foreign languages are being learned today, creating exciting opportunities for research and for practice. In this interactive session, we will discuss the technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) research field, workshop ideas for TELL research projects, and analyze data from current TELL environments.

Atelier 2:

How to Build a Research Agenda in Hip-Hop Studies and an Overview of the Field led by Dr. Alain-Philippe Durand, Dean and Professor of French, University of Arizona

When it comes to hip-hop and hip-hop studies, there are a lot of possible interpretations and as many misconceptions. Moreover, hip-hop studies are often mocked and not taken seriously as a research discipline. Yet, hundreds of academic books have been published on the interdisciplinary and global aspects of hip-hop cultures. In this workshop, Prof. Durand will give an overview of hip-hop studies and how he built his own research agenda in the field.
