Shahla Adel presents study at the ACTFL Convention

At the ACTFL 2017 Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, Shahla Adel presented an unprecedented study where she compared the Language Learning Strategies of Heritage and Non-Heritage Learners of Persian and Arabic. Learning strategies are specific actions taken by the learner to make learning easier, faster, more enjoyable, more self-directed, more effective and more transferable to new situations. Significance of this study was that no one had previously compared the language learning strategies across these two languages.
