I am a professor of Spanish at the University of New Hampshire. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin with a specialization in applied linguistics and foreign language education. I worked as an Assistant Professor of Spanish at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh from 1993-1996 before I joined the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at UNH in the fall 1996. I teach courses in second language acquisition, teaching methods, Spanish language and applied linguistics. I was the Coordinator of the Elementary Spanish program at UNH where I trained and supervised graduate teaching assistants from 1996-2000. I served as Chair of the Department from 2013-2016. I am the Academic Director of the Havana-Cuba, San Joaquín-Costa Rica and Granada-Spain study abroad programs. My primary areas of research interest include computer-mediated communication, telecollaboration, technology-mediated task-based language learning, online feedback and discourse analysis. I have published articles regarding using digital technology for L2 teaching and learning. My articles have appeared in international and national refereed journals, such as Foreign Language Annals, Hispania, Language Learning & Technology, CALICO, Computer Assisted Language Learning, ReCALL, System, Language Awareness, and International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching. I have also written more than a dozen of book chapters and have designed online activities to accompany three major textbooks: Mosaicos, Avenidas and Puentes.
