strategic plans; engages in research on best practices for teaching and
learning languages; works with faculty and graduate students developing
research projects or materials for language courses; may participate in
language lecturer excellence reviews; maintains the BLC website; assists the
ED in planning and implementing educational outreach to K-12, community
colleges, and the wider general public; participates in the planning and
implementation of periodic conferences; as a member of the Executive Committee
of L2 Journal, the AD contributes to the development of journal policy and
management; maintains and strengthens relationships with Educational
