For true language nerds - the development of new languages for fantasy television series (Game of Thrones in this case) or movies is alive and well. From the Sydney Morning Herald "'The days of aliens spouting gibberish with no grammatical structure are over,' said paul Frommer, professor emeritus of clinical management communication at the University of Southern California, who created Na'vi, the language spoken by the giant blue inhabitants of Pandora in Avatar." Also picked up by the New York Times today.

I am an associate professor in the Lynch School of Education at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I serve as an associate editor at Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
