Paige Daniel Ware, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor and Recipient of the 2006 SMU Ford Fellowship
Paige D. Ware, Ph. D,
has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Literacy Acquisiton of
the School of Education and Human Development since 2003. Prior to earning
her Ph.D. in Education, Language, Literacy, and Culture at the University of
California at Berkeley in 2003, she taught English as a Second Language
(ESL). Fluent in Spanish and German, she was a Fulbright scholar in Germany
before moving to Spain, where she taught in a bilingual Spanish-English
elementary program for several years. An instructor in the Creative Writing
Program at Berkeley, she was nominated by her colleagues to become a teacher
consultant with the National Writing Project.
Dr. Ware's research background includes collaborative, qualitative research projects that examine how instructional technologies can be used to facilitate literacy and language learning. She has presented widely on the use of multimedia technologies for fostering critical literacy with elementary school and middle school children, and her publications focus on the use of web-based technologies for promoting second-language acquisition. Her research has been funded through fellowships at UC Berkeley and through awards from the Berkeley Language Center and the Berkeley Center for German and European Studies.
In March 2006 Dr. Ware was selected as a recipient of SMU's prestigious Ford Fellowship in recognition of her research on the integration of technology into second language teaching and learning. Her work has addressed issues ranging from the linguistic development of middle school children participating in online mentoring partnerships to the development of cross-cultural awareness among college students involved in international collaborative projects. With the Early Career Ford Fellowship, she will continue to pursue her current research on the grammatical development of intermediate- and advanced-level English as a Second/Foreign Language students. This project currently involves pre-service and in-service teachers at SMU and English language students in Spain. She will expand the project to include several more international sites across the next two years.
