Daniel R. Isbell

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I completed my PhD in Second Language Studies at Michigan State University in 2019 and previously earned an MA in Teaching English as a Second Language from Northern Arizona University. I am an Associate Editor at Language Learning and serve on the Editorial Board of Language Testing.

My primary area of expertise is language assessment. I frequently do research on second language speaking and maintain research interests in instructed second language acquisition and technology in language learning.

I am currently available to supervise PhD students. See PhD application details here.

I also teach courses and supervise MA capstone projects in language testing. See here for details on applying to our MA program.
