About Judy Dyer Judy came to the University of Michigan as a graduate student in Linguistics in 1994, after working for the British Council as an English-language specialist in materials design, and teacher training in Beijing and Guangzhou in China. She has also worked in France, the Czech Republic, and Britain. She has been an instructor at the ELI since 2000 and is interested in the teaching of writing to international and Generation 1.5 students,  and in teacher training for ESL.  She is coordinator of the practicum and seminar for the ESL endorsement program, and co-teaches a class on second language learning. Her research interests are both in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, with a special interest in language and identity, language varieties and dialects, and dialect and language acquisition. She has recently published a textbook for teaching English in China (Olympic English), and a chapter in the Routledge Companion to Sociolinguistics on language and identity.
