Elise Berman’s current work centers on language and schooling among Marshallese migrants in the U.S. She has partnered with several colleagues to write analyses of COVID-19 and remote schooling and a dialect analysis of Marshallese English as spoken by children in the U.S. Currently, she is spearheading a project (with Rebecca Roeder and Vicki Collet) analyzing children’s language practices and how they correspond, or fail to correspond, with English Learner status assignments.
