DoKoLL welcomes Gambrinus Fellow Prof. Kevin Wong
DoKoLL is delighted to welcome Dr. Kevin Wong 黃浩文博士 in early June 2024 . He has been awarded a Gambrinus Fellowship. This Fellwoship program supports guest stays of renowned international scientists at TU Dortmund University.
Dr. Kevin Wong 黃浩文博士 is an assistant professor and chair of the MA in TESOL program at Pepperdine University. Prof. Wong's research is informed by his biracial, trilingual upbringing in Hong Kong where he was a public elementary/primary school teacher. Now at Pepperdine, he directs the Multilingual, Multiracial, Multicultural Education Research Group, examining raciolinguistic ideologies and identity among students (with a particular interest in multiracial individuals), language learning in ESL/EFL, dual language immersion, digital contexts, and humanizing pedagogies and methodologies in applied linguistics research.
In addition to visiting a local school to engage with students and teachers, Prof. Wong will be holding two guest lectures open to the public in Emil-Figge-Street 50 on the fifth of June:
Raciolinguistics and Identity Conversations Using Multiracial Children's Literature
This lecture intended for English language educators and researchers will examine the role of multicultural and multilingual children's literature for critical literacy development in diverse contexts.

In this talk, Dr. Kevin Wong will report research results regarding the effects of multimodal enhancement in relation to vocabulary learning among pre-primary dual language learners.
