A bit about me:
I am Professor of Spanish Applied Linguistics at the Spanish Division of the Department of Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas (LLEA) and Associated Graduate Faculty of the department of Second Language Studies (SLS) at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa. I am originally from Valladolid, Spain and I have lived in Hawaii for 25 years.
​
My main areas of interest are the intersections of technology and TBLT (Task-based Language Teaching) and technology and L2 pragmatics. I am also interested in Conversation Analysis for L2 interaction, teacher training, and assessment, especially performance-based assessment.
​
I teach courses on Spanish language, linguistics, second language acquisition, teacher training, and CALL. Several of them are online or hybrids. I enjoy learning and working with new technologies and sharing what I know.
