He completed his doctorate at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a.M. in 2014 with a dissertation on the development of metalinguistic abilities in children with monolingual and multilingual backgrounds. Prof. Krafft's research focuses on syntax-based orthographic phenomena in German, particularly compound and separate writing and punctuation. He investigates how children develop metalinguistic awareness and how this knowledge can be effectively integrated into language instruction. His work challenges traditional grammar teaching approaches, advocating for methods that connect language reflection with practical language skill development. He is actively involved in the Di.ge.LL research project, exploring how digital tools can enhance cognitive activation in language learning. His publication record shows consistent output in German language didactics, with recent work emphasizing practical classroom applications for diverse learners. His research demonstrates how intuitive writing and punctuation skills develop in children and how instruction can build on these foundations rather than contradicting them. He particularly examines how multilingual students' stronger initial word concepts can inform teaching approaches for all learners. Prof. Krafft actively supervises bachelor's and master's theses, preferring empirical research projects that contribute to practical language teaching. He encourages students to develop research questions from his courses and provides guidance on methodology while recommending additional support from the Writing Center. His teaching philosophy emphasizes connecting theoretical understanding with practical classroom application, particularly regarding how language awareness development can support actual language competence.

Ph.D. in Linguistics, University of Alberta (2007-2013) M.A. in Linguistics, University of Alberta (2004-2007) B.A., Mount Royal College (2002-2004) Dr. Miwa's research primarily investigates how complex words are represented and processed in the mind, with special attention to bilingual reading processes where two languages coexist in a single mind. His work employs sophisticated methodologies including eye-tracking technology to measure real-time cognitive processing during language tasks. He examines morphological decomposition, cross-linguistic influences, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying efficient language processing, with particular emphasis on Japanese-English bilingualism and morphographic scripts. His research consistently explores how humans process complex linguistic information effortlessly and efficiently, often at subconscious levels. Dr. Miwa's recent publications reveal an expanding research program that now includes metaphor comprehension, analogical reasoning, and event role conceptualization across languages. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with empirical cognitive science, often employing advanced statistical modeling techniques like generalized additive mixed models to analyze complex language behavior data. The ENglish Reading Online (ENRO) Project represents a significant contribution to large-scale data collection in second language reading research. Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Scholarship (2010) Roger S. Smith Undergraduate Researcher's Award (2006) As an educator, Dr. Miwa emphasizes balanced development across multiple dimensions of life and learning. His supervision style focuses on cultivating mindfulness, service, and knowledge in students.
