Kudos: Dissertation award helps doctoral student focus on Russian verbal research
Russian verbal aspect is one of the most conceptually complex topics to grasp for native English speakers learning to speak and write Russian.
Thanks to a dissertation research award from the National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations and the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages, Albina Khabibulina, a doctoral student in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, can dedicate her efforts to researching this developing topic.
“To my knowledge, there is no dynamic assessment work that explores the effects of the method with learners of the Russian language, which is much more different from English than other more commonly taught languages like Spanish or French” she said. “My dissertation research intends to address this gap.”
