In this talk, Dr. Kevin Wong reports research results regarding the effects of multimodal enhancement in relation to vocabulary learning among pre-primary dual language learners. Drawing on dual-coding theory, the lecture considers potentials for literacy development on the incidental-intentional language learning continuum. The lecture is open to the public.

Gambrinus Fellow Professor Kevin Wong is an assistant professor at Pepperdine University in California. Dr. Wong's research is influenced by his biracial, trilingual upbringing in Hong Kong where he was a public elementary/primary school teacher. Now at Pepperdine, he directs the Multilingual, Multiracial, Multicultural Education Research Group, examining raciolinguistic ideologies and identity among students (with a particular interest in multiracial individuals), language learning in ESL/EFL, dual language immersion, digital contexts, and humanizing pedagogies and methodologies in applied linguistics research. Furthermore, Professor Wong currently is a fellow at the Dortmund Competence Center for Teacher Education & Research (DoKoLL).

This event is being held with the support of the Institute for Language, Literature and Culture.
