Francis John Troyan is Associate Professor of World Language Education at The Ohio State University. In his teaching, research, and work, he is the faculty coordinator of the World Language Teacher preparation program, an affiliated member of the Bilingual Education endorsement program for practicing teachers, and an affiliate of the Department of French and Italian. He partners with Fulbright Germany (See Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Classroom) to work with teachers and pre-service teachers from Germany to prepare them to address issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion in German educational contexts where the cultural and linguistic landscape of classrooms is becoming increasingly diverse. This work is informed by Mr. Troyan’s research in mulitilingual classrooms in the United States and his Fulbright-funded research in France, where he investigated immigrant student experiences in a public, urban primary school classroom in southern France.
