Cameron Smith, a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education, recalls a childhood in Europe immersed in a linguistic “hat trick” of English, French and German. This early introduction to multiple languages, he says, evolved into a career teaching French as a second language (FSL) and fuelled a curiosity about teachers’ experiences using devices in the classroom.
