Norman Evans

Dr. Evans is currently researching how campuses across the country provide academic and linguistic support programs for international students. He has a book under contract with Routledge publishers which addresses how institutions can better understand and respond to the challenges ESL readers and writers face in higher education and is the co-author of International Students: Strengthening a Critical Resource (American Council on Higher Education).

Dr. Evans is the faculty coordinator for the MA TESOL program and director of the English Language Center at Brigham Young University. In his previous professorship at BYU-Hawaii, he chaired a committee on helping students be successful after graduating and returning to their home countries, and he was named University Teacher of the Year in 1999 and 2003. He has spent much of his career working with international students in a variety of capacities as an English language teacher, writing center coordinator, ESL program administrator, and TESOL teacher trainer. Dr. Evans presents on these topics regularly at national and international conferences, roundtables, and speaker engagements.
