Dr. Kelly Bilinski Arispe graduated in June 2012 with a Ph.D. in Spanish Linguistics
with a designated emphasis in Second Language Acquisition from the University of
California, Davis, and joined the World Languages faculty at Boise State University later
that summer. She also has an M.A. in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of New
Mexico, and a B.A. from George Fox University with a double major in Spanish and
International Studies. Dr. Arispe is interested in the potential that new technologies
and tools have to enhance the language learning experience. Her dissertation research
elucidated the interplay between three important aspects of Second Language Acquisition
(SLA): Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), lexical acquisition, and learner
autonomy. She also is interested in developing a Spanish intermediate-level multimedia
online textbook, and in measuring language development in study abroad programs.
