When it comes to learning English as an Additional Language (EAL), two students at the University of British Columbia (UBC) demonstrate that, with creativity, there is more to gain than fluency in English.”

PhD candidates Natalia Balyasnikova and Harini Rajagopal show that learning a new language is also a way to develop one’s identity, form social connections and make meaning in this newly published article.
