Collaborations with Centro de autoaprendizaje de idiomas
My collaborations with UAEH faculty and staff from the Centro de autoaprendizaje de idiomas have led to numerous joint instructional and scholarly ventures. My partnership with UAEH teachers and staff continues to flourish and remains strong today. In 2020, I co-wrote two book chapters on the implementation and practice of online exchanges using qualitative and quantitative action research methods to analyze and interpret findings.
