Juntao Li, a PhD candidate in German Studies, has been awarded the Summer Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship by the UConn Graduate School to pursue his research on “Language Ecology in Third Language (L3) Acquisition: Case Studies of German L3 Learners with Chinese as an First Language and English as an Second Language.” In his dissertation, he is seeking to examine to what extent sociocultural contexts influence German L3 learners’ language learning process with Chinese as an L1 and English as an L2.

Junato Li has already successfully presented his work at a variety of conferences, and the fellowship will permit him to finish his dissertation with support over the summer of 2022.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch / Congratulations!
