This article draws on the Language Learning Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence Program 2012 thanks to which Dr. Suresh Canagarajah from Pennsylvania State University lectured at Universidad de La Plata in Argentina in May of that year. He delivered a talk open to language teachers, students and the community in general and also taught a postgraduate seminar at the School of Humanities and Sciences of Education. He kindly agreed to be interviewed by me after the event was over and this article presents this interview.
