The Department of East Asian Studies was well represented at the Second Language Research Forum 2017 at the Ohio State University, October 12-14. Several graduate students presented papers at the conference. The presentations received a lot of positive feedback; many researchers showed interest in the work done at Arizona. It was a great experience for the graduate students. They heard many talks, learned about research done at other schools and talked to people who shared their research interests. Everyone came back excited about their research. It was a big success.
