​

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.

Making English official

2/2/2012

The House of Representatives is close to passing a bill to make English the official language in the United States, The Hill reports. This is seen as a great wedge issue in a presidential year and you can bet that Romney will jump on its coattails just like he did back in 2002 in Massachusetts when the English-only instruction ballot initiative was put before state voters. Meantime, the Huffington Post reports on how ludicrous the El Paso mayor thinks such a proposition is, and cites examples of politicians worrying over the limited Spanish proficiency of candidates who purport to represent highly bilingual constituencies.
