Ivana Rehman Awarded NFMLTA Dissertation Support Grant 

Ivana Rehman, a PhD candidate in the Applied Linguistics and Technology program of the English Department, was awarded a National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Association (NFMLTA) dissertation support grant. Thanks to this award, Ivana will be able to fund a part of the data collection process for her dissertation, which focuses on testing a computer-assisted pronunciation program designed for vowel production training. 

"While working on polishing my application materials for the NFMLTA grant, I actively engaged with the CCE and it has been a wonderful learning opportunity. CCE Consultant Kim Becker provided extremely useful feedback, and she was able to inspire me to find the best language to express my thoughts on paper. Kim did great in helping me condense the material while preserving the main message. The skills I gained during this process will be remarkably useful throughout my career in academia and beyond."  Read More
