Second Language Acquisition at Georgetown

Georgetown Professor Cristina Sanz wins Mildenberger prize for edited book on SLA with contributions from Georgetown colleagues.

Taken from the MLA citation: "The publication grew out of an SLA course taught by Cristina Sanz, which included lectures by her colleagues from other departments, including the medical campus, as well as beyond the campus. Several chapters were co-authored with current or former students, providing evidence of a rich exchange of ideas among colleagues on both sides of the teaching spectrum, another outstanding feature of the SLA program at Georgetown."
