Biography: 

Professor Hoover's academic background is in theoretical linguistics and experimental psychology, which reflects his research interest in psycholinguistics, socio-cultural and online learning environments, the use of indigenous languages in schools and teacher training for indigenous teachers in Canada and South America.听 In trying to understand how First Nations teachers who were highly literate in their second language learned to be literate in the first led Prof. Hoover to a reconceptualization of the issue in terms of language as an artifact rather than as an object of learning, leading to approaching pedagogy from a strongly Vygotskyan perspective.听 In addition, he is currently interested in investigating cultural aspects of learning, using models based on Vygotsky鈥檚 cultural-historical theory of learning. Therefore, the current research projects focus on two broad areas of interest: multicultural contexts, and the use of online technologies.

Prof. Hoover currently supervises seven enthusiastic graduate students in related fields.听
