Hi, I'm Deoksoon Kim.

Professor of Language & Literacy Education

Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Boston College

I study how immigrant and emergent bilingual students navigate language, identity, and learning in digitally mediated environments. My work bridges second language acquisition, instructional technology, and formative assessment to create classrooms where every learner's voice can be heard.

"Language is not just a tool for communication — it is the medium through which students construct who they are and who they might become."
