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, affiliated with the English Language/Linguistics program, and the Ph.D. in Second Language Acquisition & Teaching interdisciplinary 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 (L2) education, especially technology-mediated L2 learning and teaching. My background is in teaching English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL)--I've taught all ages at a Japanese language conversation school, adults in American Intensive English programs, students at a bilingual Japanese college, and ESL composition students at an American university. I speak German, some Japanese, and a little French, although I do research on L2 pedagogy in other languages, too.

Curriculum Vitae

Research

My primary area of research is technology in L2 education, specifically digital gaming, digital literacies, social networking, and technology-mediated interaction. Here's a bibliography on technology in L2 education, including journals, introductory articles, theoretical and practical texts with reviews, and online resources on the field. I've also put together a collection of Web 2.0 and CMC resources for TELL. Every year I teach a course on these topics, English/SLAT 596o: Internet Technologies and L2 Instruction.

• Digital Gaming and L2 Teaching and Learning: I am co-director, with Julie Sykes of the U New Mexico, of the Games to Teach Project at the University of Arizona's Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy. Check out the Games to Teach Project Blog for more information, including papers and resources for teaching L2s with digital games. We offer a working paper that outlines the field, as well as a white paper that outlines a framework for evaluating and adapting digital games for L2 instruction, and a set of materials for teaching ESL with the casual life simulation game LifeQuest. Materials for German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic are coming soon. For an example of recent scholarship, here is a co-authored chapter on Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) that appeared in a volume on educational linguistics. For an overview of the field, have a look at this plenary talk on digital game-mediated teaching and learning I gave recently.
• Digital L2 Literacies: Overlapping my work in digital gaming, I also work on the creation and implementation of L2 pedagogical frameworks for developing digital L2 literacies. I recently co-authored a chapter that overviews frameworks for developing digital L2 literacies using ACTFL's comparisons standard, expanding the framework Steve Thorne of Portland State and I developed in a paper on 'Bridging Activities' and new media literacies. I am currently working on a project with a colleague exploring the development of digital literacies in Italian.
• Social Networking and L2 Teaching and Learning: I have recently become interested in the use of social networking by L2 learners, both in- and outside of formal educational contexts. I co-authored a paper on social networking and language socialization with a doctoral student, and am working on several other projects with doctoral students and social network-mediated L2 learning and teaching.
• Technology-mediated L2 Interaction: I am also interested in theoretical issues related to L2 language use in technology-mediated environments, and have explored the use of socio-cognitive and ecological frameworks in analysis of these interactions. For an idea of the kind of research I've done in this area, check out a chapter on negotiating politeness in technology-mediated environments or a paper on technology-mediated second language play (both on German/English). I have a chapter to appear soon in a volume on telecollaboration, on comparing interactionist and socio-cognitive approaches to analysis of telecollaborative interaction.
