Lily Goetz (Professor of Spanish) and William Holliday (Assistant Professor of History) presented two co-authored studies on content-focused language use and student engagement at the 7th Annual Conference on Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) in Richmond, Virginia. One study compares Spanish oral proficiency development among students who studied in a short-term CLAC immersion abroad program with students who studied Spanish in a traditional classroom setting. The second compares the affective and cognitive engagement levels of students who studied history as part of a short-term CLAC immersion abroad program with students who studied history in a traditional on-campus classroom.
