| Lisa M. Merschel, Associate Professor of the Practice and Director of the Spanish Language Program
![Lisa M. Merschel](https://fds.duke.edu/photos/fac/u782.jpg) Director of the Spanish Language Program since 2021, and at Duke since 2001, I teach all levels in the SLP, with second-language acquisition, language technologies, and machine learning's impact on writing in the L2+ being the areas that interest me professionally. In the last few years I've been reading, thinking, writing and presenting on artificial intelligence's effect on how we teach languages.
I directed summer study abroad programs in Mexico and Spain in 2008, 2011, 2014 and 2017.
