Collaborations with Centro de autoaprendizaje de idiomas
My long-standing collaboration with faculty and staff at the Centro de Autoaprendizaje de Idiomas at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo (UAEH) has resulted in numerous joint instructional and scholarly initiatives. This partnership continues to thrive today, grounded in mutual respect and a shared commitment to innovative language learning.
I co-authored two peer-reviewed book chapters with UAEH colleague Dr. Martha Hernández-Alvarado, focusing on the implementation and pedagogical impact of online language exchanges. Both projects employed qualitative and quantitative action research methods to examine outcomes and refine best practices.
