Research
I am currently working on the interlanguage of L2 Spanish speakers and heritage speakers regarding object pronouns and how instruction affects the acquisition of a native-like grammar. My dissertation is entitled: The Acquisition of Case in Spanish Pronominal Object Clitics in English-Speaking College-Level L2 Learners and can be found here. I have also investigated the second language acquisition of Spanish phonology, particularly the Spanish rhotics, and dabbled in Ecuadorian dialectology. I am also interested in pronunciation instruction and how this affects the acquisition of a native-like phonological system.
Other interests include: language retention and attrition, Hispanic linguistics, classroom-based L2 acquisition vs. naturalistic L2 acquisition, applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
