Ryan T. Miller

I am a student in the Second Language Acquisition Ph.D. program in the Department of Modern Languages at Carnegie Mellon University. My interests revolve around second language literacy. I am interested in L2 reading from a cognitive/psycholinguistic perspective. In particular, my research focuses on lexical inferencing, and its component sub-skills, including the role of metalinguistic awareness. I am also interested in cross-orthographic word recognition. I aim for my research to produce findings that aid L2 reading instruction. I am also interested in second language reading assessment.

Within L2 writing, I am interested in the development of academic writing skills in English (EAP) within a systemic functional linguistics framework. In particular, I am interested in the development of discipline-specific writing skills. I am also interested in CALL implementations in the L2 writing classroom.

Before coming to CMU, I earned my MA in TESOL at Michigan State University, where I taught at the English Language Center, and my BA in Linguistics and German in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. In addition, I taught for a number of years at various levels in Japan, including elementary school, junior high school, at a non-profit education center, and as an adjunct lecturer at universities.
