Presents



Asking Children to Design Digital Games to Learn Vocabulary: Opportunities
and Challenges for “Research with Children”

*April 21, 2022*

*4:30-5:30pm*

*Online - Eastern US Time*



*Summary*

Although research with children has gained substantial attention in child
developmental studies, the methodological and ethical issues associated
with research with children have not yet been sufficiently addressed in
applied linguistics. Based on a game design project that she conducted with
6th grade students in a public school in Japan, Dr. Butler addresses both
the opportunities and challenges associated with conducting research with
children. Although she will focus on children in her talk, the same issues
should be relevant to any learners being studied.


*Dr. Yuko Goto Butler *is Professor of Educational Linguistics in the
Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also
the Director of the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
Program at Penn. Her research interests include language assessment and
second and foreign language learning among children.

*About UMBC*
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) offers a master of arts
(MA TESOL) and a four-course post-baccalaureate certificate (TESOL PBC) in
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Options are available for
those seeking to teach any age group from children to adults in the United

UMBC also offers a doctor of philosophy (PhD) in Language, Literature, and
Culture.  This interdisciplinary doctoral program investigates the concepts
and processes of language, literacy, and culture in relationship to social,
cultural, linguistic, historical, technological, and ideological
formations.  A unique value of this program is the wide range of
contemporary multi-disciplinary perspectives and a continuum of
methodological approaches from the arts, humanities, social sciences, and
education.  The program advocates for socio-cultural and linguistic
diversity in research, practice, and policy, with special emphasis on
social justice, change, equity, power, and identity.  Find out more at
