My teaching background covers undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses in applied lingusitics, sociolinguistics, language (in) education, as well as Spanish for (so-called) heritage speakers, and English as a second language. Prior to joining Groningen, I taught courses focusing on these areas at Indiana University (Indianapolis) and, prior to that, at Texas Tech University.

At the RUG, my teaching contributes to a range of programmes within the Faculty of Arts//Letteren, including the BAs in European Languages and Cultures (Language and Society, and Language Learning Profiles), Minorities and Multilingualism, and Communication and Information Studies, and the MAs in Linguistics (Multilingualism), and Euroculture. I also supervise BA and MA theses on topics related to the educational, social, and psychological aspects of multilingualism, and work with students seeking to adopt critical and transdiciplinary approaches to the study of multilingualism in education and in society.
