Washington State University Humanities Fellow Michael Hubert will discuss “The Development of Speaking and Writing of Foreign Language in Academia” at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 2, in the Honors Hall Lounge. Hubert said, “The relationship between the development of speaking and writing proficiencies in second and foreign language acquisition is, at present, poorly understood and information on the limited amount of available research on this topic has yet to be widely disseminated.” His lecture will report on a longitudinal research study tracking the development of speaking and writing proficiencies in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish students over several years. The event is the final presentation in the inaugural Humanities Fellow Lecture Series and is hosted by the Humanities Planning Group, with support from the College of Arts and Sciences.
