Recent Activities

Professor of Spanish

Foreign Language Association of Virginia Award for Excellence in Foreign Language Teaching, Post-Secondary, presented at the joint FLAVA/ACTFL conference in Washington, D.C., November 17, 2001.

Summer Institutes for Spanish Teachers..
Last year's Summer Institute for Spanish Teachers attracted thirteen participants from several states who spent three weeks in Valencia, Spain, where they attended graduate courses, lived with Spanish families, and visited sites of historical and cultural significance.  Next summer's Institute will take participants to South America.  I  have been planning and directing the program since 1994, accompanying the group and teaching in the program each year.  Previous Institutes have taken place in Mérida, Venezuela.

Workshop Presentation.
I presented a half-day workshop on "Using Minicuentos to Teach Literary Reading Skills" at the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in New York on April 17, 2004.  

Hispanic Literacy Project.
I supervised a project with six interns (three Spanish students and three Art students) to produce a bilingual edition of a collection of Hispanic children's stories.  We interviewed native speakers of Spanish and recorded them as they recounted stories they remember from their childhood.  We  transformed the stories into brightly illustrated children's books, written for children from three to seven years of age. We have distributed 30 of the children's books and 3 of the "Big Books" to the Escuela Misión elementary school in Cortázar, México, and plan to donate others to our local schools or agencies, to further literacy in both languages.  This project was funded through the Fund for Student Research, Internships, and Public History of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Longwood University.

Inservice Workshops for Language Teachers.
I present workshops for language teachers in public or private schools.  My areas of specialty include the development of reading skills in foreign languages, the teaching of literature, contextualizing instruction for all levels of language learning, using authentic materials for listening and reading skills development, and teaching with the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning.

Most recent publications.
My article “Short Cuts:  A Model for Using the Shortest of Short Stories to Teach Second Language Reading Skills,” has  been published in the Fall 2003 edition of the NECTFL Review,  A Refereed Journal Published by the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.  The ideas in this article are based on a presentation I made at the NEMLA conference in Hartford, Connecticut, in April of 2001.

I am compiling a textbook for teaching the reading of literature to beginning and intermediate Spanish students.  The book teach reading strategies and will contain short stories and poetry by classic and modern authors, along with pre-reading orientation activities, reading and post-reading activities, as well as lessons teaching students about literary and figurative language.

I am in the process of creating a manual for the teaching of literature in Spanish to high school and college students (“Now I get it!”  Teaching Students to Understand What They Read:  A Guide for Foreign Language Teachers

My recent article  “’El ángel’ o ‘la diabla’:  Cuestiones discursivas en Fortunata y Jacinta,”  will be published in the Actas del IX Congreso de la Asociación Española de Semiótica (2001).

I will be preparing another article for submission shortly, on the subject of developing language proficiency during study abroad programs.  Previous publications are listed below.

I have served on the Editorial Board for the literary journal La Carabela, Gijón, Spain.
