I am happy to welcome Dr. Bin Zhang from the Dresden University of Technology (Germany) for his month-long research stay at the University of Texas. He will be conducting research on implementation of Construction Grammar in the foreign language classroom with a specific focus on pedagogical approaches to teaching German (Deutsch als Fremdsprache).
New co-authored publication (with my colleague Marc Pierce) on Texas German is out: “Texas German”, in the Yearbook of German American Studies Supplemental Issue 6, see here.
