Tania Convertini
Language Program Director of Italian
My teaching, research, and academic leadership focus on language education, intercultural learning, and the relationship between pedagogy, culture, and technology. I am particularly interested in curriculum and assessment design, design thinking for education, experiential learning, and the integration of literature, cinema, and authentic cultural experiences into language education.
