Event Date
We are thrilled to introduce and welcome our guest presenter, Dr. Margaret Merrill (https://edtech.ucdavis.edu/teams/margaret-merrill/) !
Talk Title: “Parlez-vous instructional design?”: Stories and lessons learned from an instructional designer with a PhD in Second Language Acquisition
Talk description: In this time of immersion in the “language” of remote instruction, Dr. Margaret Merrill can help you increase your fluency. Membership in a supportive community can help us be more effective learners and teachers, better researchers, and more compassionate humans. Drawing on her 25 years of academic and professional work in the overlapping disciplines of foreign language teaching and instructional design, Dr. Merrill will share stories about international projects and insights from her research demonstrating the power of supportive communities and how we can contribute to their growth even from a distance, thwarting the efforts of a worldwide pandemic to keep us isolated. She will also disclose secrets that made her time as a graduate student meaningful and exciting, all the while allowing her to remain focused on her professional goals.
Bio: Margaret Merrill, PhD, is a Senior Instructional Design Consultant with Academic Technology Services. She works with faculty as they consider how to use technology in strategic and pedagogically sound ways in their teaching. Her dissertation research was on communities among foreign language teachers, and she enjoys helping all teachers recognize the resource that teachers are for each other. Previously, Margaret has taught junior high French, run faculty support programs, created technology-supported foreign language learning materials, and filmed a movie in Romania.

About the Cluster on Language Research
The UC Davis Cluster on Language Research (https://www.languagecluster.com/about-us) has been sharing language-related research and connecting language scholars across many disciplines since 2013. The CLR is an interdisciplinary organization, drawing diverse membership and guest presenters from across many UC Davis departments, such as Education, Psychology, Computer Science, Native American Studies, Mathematics, and various language departments, like French, German, and Japanese, among others. The CLR supports research, exploration, and collaboration in the domain of "language", which commands a wide breadth in research interests and expertise across many disciplines.
We are excited to continue with this tradition of expanding our language research and connections across departments, and ask that if you know anyone in other departments or disciplines who would be interested in attending the talks or perhaps presenting, please do share the Cluster information with them.
