Walther Glödstaf: Grad Student Spotlight
My current research focuses on understanding the psycholinguistic foundations of L1-attrition and modeling it in communities via agent-based simulations, to understand the importance of variation within and across speaker groups. I have also done research on Finnish syntax and economical and political analyses of European minority language protection policy, and the sociolinguistics of online study abroad communities.

Raihan Rahman: Grad Student Spotlight
TESL extends beyond English teaching. My MA in TESOL provided a platform to develop skills in scientific language analysis, computer programming, and statistics for language data. It also honed soft skills such as communication, time management, coordination, and professionalism. This program offers a broader perspective on language and teaching.
