I am an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University and director of the Master of Arts in Foreign Language Teaching in the MSU College of Arts and Letters.

The MAFLT is a distance-based graduate program designed to meet the needs of current teachers and aspiring educators of any target language. We provide a principled balance of theory and practice in an interactive and personalized format. Courses emphasize proficiency-based approaches, effective integration of culture and technology, and leadership.
