Kris Acheson

Kris Acheson studies how people develop intercultural competence and undergo transformative learning, particularly in international education, study abroad, and workplace training settings. Their recent work examines methods for assessing this learning, including quantitative measurement tools, and explores whether technologies like virtual reality simulations and video-based training are effective ways to build cross-cultural and interpersonal skills. The work also touches on communication across language differences and the emotional demands placed on foreign language teachers.

Publication output rose to a peak around 2020 before settling into a lower, fluctuating pace of a few papers per year through the mid-2020s.
