He teaches courses in language pedagogy, sociolinguistics, and technology-enhanced language instruction for English, MATESL, and SLAT PhD programs.

Reinhardt serves on the editorial boards of CALICO Journal and Language Learning and Technology, and previously served as President of the Computer Assisted Language Instructional Consortium (CALICO) from 2019-2020. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications in digital game-based learning, social media pedagogy, and L2 digital literacies.

His publications analyze the role of digital games in language acquisition, the sociolinguistic dimensions of social media use, and the ecological factors shaping L2 identity development. Recent work emphasizes 'gameful' pedagogy, digital mediation, and the evolving landscape of technology-enhanced language learning.

Reinhardt's research highlights innovative methodologies such as genre analysis, metaphor frameworks, and ecological systems theory applied to digital contexts. His contributions advance both theoretical understanding and practical implementation of technology-mediated language education strategies.
