Béatrice Dupuy is Professor of French, Public and Applied Humanities, and Second Language Acquisition and Teaching at the University of Arizona.
She is Director of the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy (CERCLL), a Title VI Center funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Since 2006, CERCLL serves as a unique local, regional, and national resource that provide high quality, evidence-based, and cost-effective language instructional materials. She has also served as Chair (2015-2020) of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program In Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT) and Director of the French Language Program (2002-2015).
Her recent co-edited publication, The Handbook of Language Program Development and Administration (Routledge, 2025), includes fifty-two chapters that provide a research-based yet practically relevant treatment of key issues in program development and administration, which holds an important role in the field of applied linguistics: "Second language program development and administration is a long-standing area within the larger field of applied linguistics. In many ways, it is the quintessential applied linguistics field, as it crosses disciplinary boundaries while balancing the rigors of scholarly inquiry with the demands of practical application without losing sight of concrete learner outcomes."
Her co-authored book, A Multiliteracies Framework for Collegiate Foreign Language Teaching (Pearson, 2015) makes the case for literacy as a response to recent calls for change in collegiate language programs and a foundation on which to build broad and coherent curricula, instructional approaches, and assessment practices. The same line of research led to several articles. (See full list of publications in her CV.)
Until 2010, she was on the Board of Directors of the Extensive Reading Foundation. She currently sits on the editorial board of Foreign Language Annals and the Scientific Committee of Apprentissage des Langues et Systèmes d’Information et de Communication (ALSIC).
