Intro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a native speaker of Spanish, I feel that I can make a positive impact on my students’ learning and willingness to speak Spanish–and spark curiosity in them. In addition to language skills, I like to share elements of Hispanic Culture with my students. All of the activities that I\/we engage in are meant to enrich the student experience in the Spanish program here at the UW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have an extensive background in Teaching Spanish at all levels. I have taught 100, 200, and 300 level Spanish classes. I have also taught Heritage Language courses, Spanish Literature, and Spanish Writing at the university level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My academic interests are in the language and literatures of Latin America and Spain, and one of the things I like to promote to any interested student is the great adventure and advantage it can be to study abroad in a Spanish speaking country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, cross-cultural communication is a teaching focus in and out of the classroom, and I try to accomplish this while meeting the needs of students with a wide range of Spanish language abilities. In the classroom, we will use individual and small group reading, writing, listening and speaking activities to get students to their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
