• Three faculty, John Attinasi, David Dowell, and Xiaoping Liang, and ten graduate students from the Department of Linguistics who will study the teaching of English as a Foreign Language at six universities, including Qingdao University.
• One professor in Teacher Education, Shuhua An, who will chair a symposium on technology and teaching as well as explore new linkages in teacher education.
