German graduate student presents at American Association for Applied Linguistics Conference and receives NFMLTA/MLJ travel grant

Lucian Rothe, a Ph.D. candidate in the German program, presented his research on “Linking Imagined and Actual Social Spaces: Attributed Stereotypes of Native Speakers with Respect to Foreign Language Choice” at this year’s AAAL Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. This annual conference organized by the American Association for Applied Linguistics is one of the most comprehensive language conferences both nationally and internationally. Attendees share and discuss their research about the role of language in all aspects of cognition and social action, including language learning and teaching.

For his presentation at AAAL, Rothe received a travel support grant from the National Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations. The NFMLTA and The Modern Language Journal instituted this award in 2017 to support foreign language professionals with the costs related to conferences.
