Research interests

Her research expertise is in the areas of sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, French as a first and second language, French immersion, and second language education. Dr. Rehner is currently leading the research project Reorienting FSL programming to the CEFR, which examines the role of the CEFR in reorienting the priorities, scope, sequence, and resources of a private school’s French-as-a-second-language programming. In collaboration with Dr. John Ippolitio, she is working on a research project titled Adult language learning in a transnational context: Towards a migrant-centric view of translingual agency and social integration, which explores the language learning experiences of migrants in Canada, Italy, and the United States of America from the perspective of migrants, of service providers, and of local academics working in migrant-related fields.
