Heather Willis Allen

Associate Professor of French in the Department of French and Italian, a core faculty member of the Second Language Acquisition doctoral program, and a faculty affiliate of the Center for Teaching and Research on Writing. My work includes oversight of a multiliteracies-oriented first- and second-year French language program, supervision of a talented and diverse group of graduate student instructors of French, and teaching cultural studies and writing courses in French and graduate seminars in applied linguistics.

My research focuses on multiliteracies and Design pedagogies in second language education. You can read about my current book project on second language writing here, which will be published as part of Routledge’s Multiliteracies and Second Language Education series.
