I teach graduate courses in psycholinguistics, bilingualism, bilingual/multicultural education, language and literacy, and technology in language education. My primary areas of interest include language policy and linguistic hegemony, the role of language in social change and the construction of human agency/democratic spaces, as well as the implications for critical pedagogy.

For the past seven years I have been directing the Title III Technology and Language Education Grant. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of English Language Acquisition, the $1,050,000 project provides opportunities for teachers to be certified in ESL and to develop expertise in technology and teacher education. This grant not only supports teachers to develop technological literacy and use technology in their classrooms but also helps bridge the digital divide between immigrant and mainstream students.

I currently direct the Master's in Applied Linguistics Online Program. For more information about the online program please click here.
