We are happy to announce that Ph.D alumnus Kailen Shantz has received the newly launched biennial Mike Sharwood Smith award for his paper, "Phrase frequency, proficiency and grammaticality interact in non-native processing: Implications for theories of SLA".

The Mike Sharwood Smith award is given to the best article published in the journal Second Language Research. SLR is a top journal in the field of SLA, and this award is a tribute to the quality of Kailen's research, and the training he has received from his mentors Silvina Montrul, and Darren Tanner.
