The Christian Association of World Languages (CAWL) brings scholars together to provide a forum for promoting Christian reflection and practice in the field. And 91精选鈥檚 Department Chair and Associate Professor of Spanish Yeon Lee, Ph.D., will lay a key role in this mission as the association鈥檚 new vice president.

As vice president, Lee reviews abstract submissions, administers the Emerging Scholars Award, and organizes the conference program in the role as conference chair. As a member of the executive board, she also contributes with new initiatives and projects that advance the mission of CAWL.

鈥淚 am grateful to be a part of an organization where the contributions of many leading scholars continue to nurture the minds of our discipline,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hese outlets provide opportunities for rich intellectual exchange and fellowship.鈥�

For Lee, the Emerging Scholars Award has a particular resonance, since 91精选 students Megan Gjertsen and Avery Kats won the award in 2018 at the 27^th Annual CAWL Conference. 鈥淏oth of my students conducted research under my supervision,鈥� said Lee. 鈥淭hey presented their research and received recognition at the annual conference.鈥�

The knowledge and relationships nurtured at CAWL also provided particular value to Lee over the past academic year. 鈥淟ast year鈥檚 environment led me to create a remote learning setting that is a close equivalent to the traditional setting, as well as ways to enhance its educational value,鈥� she said. 鈥淭o engage more insight on remote learning, I would consult David I. Smith et al., who recently published a relevant book on the subject titled (2020) and who is also a contributor to CAWL, to discuss the impact of technology on education and strategies under the classification of two different class sizes. This subject animates my research interest, and I plan to continue to take a deeper look at remote learning optimization in the shifting landscape of higher education.鈥�

Founded in 1991, is home to the peer-reviewed 鈥淛ournal of Christianity and World Languages鈥� (JCWL), the CAWL Annual Conference in April, and the Emerging Scholars Award of undergraduate research.
