Ekaterina Sudina (Ph.D., Northern Arizona University) is Assistant Professor of Second Language Acquisition at the University of Maryland, College Park. At the core of her research is the exploration of individual differences in second language acquisition from two perspectives: applied psychometrics and methodological synthesis/meta-analysis. Her work has been published in several prominent journals (e.g., Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, Language Learning, Studies in Second Language Acquisition, TESOL Quarterly) as well as edited volumes. She is strongly committed to research ethics and open science practices. In addition to her prior appointment at East Carolina University, she has taught English, French, and Russian in the US and abroad.
The TESOL / Applied Linguistics Graduate Students (TALGS) Conference is an academic event organized by Linguistics and TESOL graduate students and faculty at East Carolina University and Greensboro College. We at TALGS aim to provide a serious but relaxed environment for you, our fellow graduate students and professionals working in TESL/TEFL/FL and other applied linguistics fields, to present your work, receive feedback, and network with others. The TALGS Conference exists to provide graduate students as well as TESOL and other Foreign Language professionals (including ESOL, TESL, EFL, ESL, TEFL, Spanish, French, German, DLI, and more) a forum to showcase your research and successful teaching practices and to learn from those of others.
Sponsored by Greensboro College’s Department of English and East Carolina University’s Department of English
