Kelly Arispe
Kelly Arispe (Ph.D. UC Davis), is an Associate Professor at Boise State University where she teaches upper-division Spanish Linguistics courses and Teacher Education courses in methods, literacy and assessment for pre-service language teachers. She is Program Coordinator for French, German and Spanish Secondary Education Majors and Director of the Graduate Certificate in Computer Assisted Language Learning. Her primary research focuses on L2 pedagogy and OER-enabled Pedagogy (OEP) and Computer and Mobile Assisted Language Learning. Her current projects include using video tagging software to impact best practices in language teaching and an OER repository, “Pathways”, that hosts over 800 ancillary and classroom ready materials that support standards-based pedagogy centered on critical human inquiry for ten world languages and cultures. Activities are task based and foster interpersonal speaking and intercultural competence which are two critical competencies often lacking from textbooks and areas where teachers need a lot of support. She was recently awarded an NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant to evaluate the impact of OER/OEP on K-12 urban and rural teacher practices.
