My name is Andrea Sterzuk. I’m a teacher, teacher educator, and educational researcher with almost 15 years of experience. I have a Bachelor of French Education from the University of Regina, an MA in Second Language Education from McGill University, and a PhD in Second Language Education with a specialization in Language Acquisition from McGill University. I am currently an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina where I teach graduate and undergraduate courses and explore my research interests in language variation; print literacy development; language acquisition; second language pedagogy; multiliteracies; language policy; language ideologies; identity and power; and education in postcolonial contexts. My previous experience includes teaching, teacher training, and educational research in Mexico, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Québec, and Saskatchewan, where I now live.
