TalkAbroad and Virtual Reality for World Languages & Cultures Using ImmerseMe | Interview with Catherine Earp | P54
Thursday, 2 July, 2026

Welcome to a unique episode of LLChat that combines our popular TalkAbroad and ImmerseMe series featuring graduate student, Catherine Earp. Catherine is currently pursuing her Master of Arts degree in Humanities at ODU (December 2027). She is a Pilates teacher and educator with over 25 years of experience in the classical tradition. She trained under Romana Kryzanowska, a direct student of Joseph Pilates, and currently serves as a Level 4 Teacher-Trainer, working with both clients and instructors to refine how people move and learn. Catherine's study of French is an intentional way to stay intellectually challenged while also stepping back into the role of a student, exploring different learning styles and experiences firsthand. We’re so glad to have her with us today. Learn more about how Catherine thinks tools like TalkAbroad and ImmerseMe offer a "domestic study abroad experience," thanks to their immediate feedback and gamification features. Our sincere thanks to Ibrahima Wann and Alice Troutman for their podcast hosting expertise!Send us Fan Mail
