I am particularly interested in the experiences of young people who have attended US schools for many years and their transitions into mainstream and college writing. I am also interested in how language teachers learn to conduct research on their teaching through the methodology of classroom action research. My current research analyzes action research studies conducted by teachers enrolled in a graduate course I taught on action research here in Hawai\u02bbi and during the SLS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/sls\/courses\/teaching-in-thailand-the-sls-graduate-practicum-betsy-gilliland-phd-sls-associate-professor\/\">teaching practicum in Thailand<\/a>.
