Carmen Merolla graduated in Comparative Languages and Literatures with a focus on English and Japanese, from the Istituto Universitario L鈥橭rientale of Napoli, and received her Master of Arts in Italian Literature and Culture from 艾可直播 College. Her research addresses the application of smart technology in the language class and the use of Italian cinema for every level of the language learning process to foster intercultural competences and improve students鈥� cross-cultural awareness. Carmen has created the Tandem Project, a technology-based language and cultural exchange with Italian college students, and she has developed a full-immersion summer program in Italy for STEM students. Her research has recently focused on the artistic production of first-generation Italians and on inclusive and nonbinary Italian.
