Evgeny Dengub - I am a native speaker of Russian born in Khabarovsk, a city in the Far East of Russia. I graduated from Khabarovsk State Pedagogical University with a degree in English and French as Foreign Languages. I received my M.A. in Second Language Acquisition in Russian from Bryn Mawr College. In Russia I taught English in Linguistic School in Amursk, where I also was a deputy director for two years. In the United States I taught Russian at Davidson College, Russian Summer Language Institute at Bryn Mawr College, and at Temple University. Currently I continue my doctorate work in the program of Second Language Acquisition in Russian at Bryn Mawr College. My research interests include teaching heritage learners of Russian, foreign language pedagogy, the acquisition of Russian as a second language, and applied semiotics. I am especially interested in developing students' conceptual, communicative and cross-cultural competence through the use of authentic audio and video materials.
