Linguistic Diversity
Across the Lifespan:
Transforming training to advance human-technology interaction.




WELCOME!

Human technology, such as smart voice assistants or computer-based intelligent
tutoring systems, is largely based on standard American English and the
misconception that there is a single, idealized variety of American English.
This conflicts with the linguistic diversity of language users. The NSF Research
Traineeship program “Linguistic diversity across the lifespan: Transforming
training to advance human-technology interaction” (LinDiv) is a two-year
graduate certificate program that educates a new generation of experts in
human-technology interaction who can create technological innovations that
benefit a broad range of linguistically and culturally diverse language users of
different ages and of different abilities. Students will be trained to bridge
the gap between human linguistic diversity and technology’s linguistic
illiteracy. This program is open to students in the following disciplines:

 * Psychology
 * Spanish
 * German
 * Communication Sciences and Disorders
 * Computer Science and Engineering
 * Information Sciences and Technology
 * Learning Design and Technology

This program will train a diverse transdisciplinary workforce to create
knowledge and translate research outcomes into technological solutions that
alleviate social, educational, and economic disparities for linguistically
diverse populations.

LinDiv is hosted at Penn State through NSF grant #2125865.
