I am a faculty member in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies. My primary interests (teaching, research, etc.) revolve around language teaching and learning; I also work in pedagogy and teacher education, specifically with an emphasis on the role of technology in language acquisition and education. (I directed the Lower Division Spanish Program for over a decade.) Some of my current projects include investigating the effectiveness of Rosetta Stone in teaching languages, and the authoring of the first-ever fully digital online learning environment for beginning Spanish.
