As an update to my post from last week, I have returned from my conference and networking trip to Ireland. Here are a few highlights<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I was able to meet with someone from the Study Abroad office<\/a> and learn about the structure of their education program and international programs. The challenges are similar – their students are in a fixed program and it would take some creative thinking to accommodate an international experience such as Teaching Across Borders<\/a>\u00a0(TAB). However, I don’t see this as a stop sign, rather than a time to yield and reflect.<\/li>\n
  2. I presented on some initial research on blogging, as a preparation for future research<\/a> on the use of the Ning blog<\/a> for reflection during the TAB program.<\/li>\n
  3. I networked with several scholars in applied and educational linguistics.\n
      \n
    1. I learned that my research on the linguistic landscape of the classroom is being read by graduate students at a university in Israel.<\/li>\n
    2. I reconnected with Aiofe Lenihan<\/a>, the person who had originally said “You should come to Limerick some day” and learned about her research on Facebook and how it overlaps with mine.<\/li>\n
    3. I discussed future research ideas with Francis Hult<\/a>, who was the external examiner on my dissertation committee and the person who introduced me to nexus analysis and linguistic landscape analysis.<\/li>\n
    4. I learned that Bernard Spolsky<\/a> is doing a series on language policy management in former colonies. His work on Brazil makes a helpful addition to the body of work that colleagues and I are looking at in our comparative study<\/a> on conceptualizations of diversity between Canada and Brazil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. On top of all of this, I had a chance to experience Limerick. The conference providers arranged Irish dancers at the Monday evening BBQ, I toured the town and King John’s castle<\/a>, and enjoyed the friendly hospitality of the local people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It was a full and rewarding trip. I look forward to traveling to Ireland again some day with more time to see the countryside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
