Matt Kessler

Hello! My name is Matt Kessler, and I am an Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of South Florida (USF). At USF, I am a faculty member in the Department of World Languages, where I teach classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I serve as a core faculty member for the department's PhD program in Linguistics and Applied Language Studies and the MA program in Linguistics/English as a Second Language.

In terms of research, my work explores issues related to technology-mediated language teaching and learning, along with second language writing. My two most recent books are Technology in the language classroom: What every new ESL teacher needs to know (University of Michigan Press) and Digital and internet-based research methods in applied linguistics (John Benjamins). My research has also appeared in numerous academic journals, such as: Applied Linguistics, Computer Assisted Language Learning, Foreign Language Annals, Journal of Second Language Writing, and Language Teaching, among others.

I currently serve as a Section Editor for Language Learning & Technology's Technology in Practice (TIP) Forum. Finally, I also serve as the Co-Editor of the book series Technology in Language and Literacy for the publisher Multilingual Matters.
