Jonathon Reinhardt Assistant Professor English Language/Linguistics Second Language Acquisition & Teaching Department of English University of Arizona P.O. Box 210067 Tucson, Arizona 85721 office: Modern Languages Building rm. 474 phone: 520-621-7395 email: jonrein-at-arizona.edu

Welcome to my homepage. I'm an Assistant Professor at U of A, in the English Language/Linguistics program, affiliated with the Second Language Acquisition & Teaching program. My B.A. is in German from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, my M.A. is in Applied Linguistics from University of Illinois at Chicago, and my Ph.D. is in Applied Linguistics from Penn State. My research is in applied linguistics and second/foreign language education, especially technology-mediated language learning and teaching. Although I work primarily with ESL/EFL, I speak German, some Japanese, and a little French.

Curriculum Vitae

Research

• My primary area of research is technology in second/foreign (L2) language education, including digital gaming, computer-mediated communication (CmC) and curriculum design and integration. Here's a bibliography of journals, introductory articles, theoretical and practical texts with reviews, and online resources. You can also visit the class homeblog for English/SLAT 596o: Internet Technologies and Second/Foreign Language Instruction.
  • My work in curriculum design and integration is focused on digital literacy. For more info, check out a recent paper on using technology to make classroom language learning relevant. I am also co-director of the CALPER technology project, including workshops, the development of a computer-mediated language learning activities library and a manual on the use of CmC in the language classroom.
  • Complementing my work on pedagogy, I also research language learning and development in technology-mediated environments, primarily using socio-cognitive and ecological frameworks. For an idea of the kind of research I've done in this area, check out a chapter on negotiating politeness in CmC or a paper on language play(both on German/English). I'm currently working on a project exploring ecological approaches to analysis of telecollaborative interaction.
  • My most recent area of research is digital gaming and L2 teaching and learning. I have several things in the works, including a forthcoming co-authored article on Massively Multiplayer Online Games, a project on social network game-mediated language teaching, and a couple of co-authored books. More to come...
• My secondary area of research is corpus linguistics and second/foreign language education, especially corpus-informed curriculum design and language for specific purposes. Most recently, in a forthcoming invited piece I discuss the potential of corpus-informed pedagogy. My work in the area stems from my dissertation, which has resulted in several articles in this area. In this co-authored article, based on my dissertation, we present a corpus-informed unit based on sociocultural theoretical principles to teach directives use to International Teaching Assistants (ITAs). In a forthcoming article, I present my main dissertation findings, that ITAs in training, as a group, make less use of choice and involvement appeals in directives than do experts. Analysis of individual usage shows evidence of pragmatic development. In another article, I interpret the results using a new model for understanding interactional politeness and power negotiation. Future plans in this area are to develop specialized corpora for use by researchers and instructors of English for specific purposes.
