Miriam is working on her Ph.D. in English/Applied Linguistics at TAMUC, where she has specialized in French foreign language (FL) pedagogy, second language writing, computer-assisted language learning and curriculum and assessment design. She is particularly interested in computer-mediated communication/interaction, collaborative writing, multimodality and digital writing pedagogy. Her work is centered on better understanding the learning strategies employed by adult second/foreign language learners. In her dissertation study, she unites two areas of inquiry—collaborative writing and multimodal composition—in order to examine the ways in which French FL learners use multiple resources while collaboratively working on multimodal tasks via Google Docs.
