Kenneth Reeder

Professor
Department of Language and Literacy Education (LLED)

Dr. Reeder’s recent research has dealt with the appropriate uses of technology in language teaching and learning, with specific applications in the development of writing and of reading for learners of English as an additional language. His most recent project examined the impact of a study abroad experience for Japanese university students upon their academic success. This is part of a larger project examining the academic, personal and vocational impacts of study abroad.
