After many re-writes and countless years in the making, I am happy to share my new article! In this piece, I talk about the acquisition of the anaphoric relations and binding constraints of complements that select subjunctive [1/5]

Excited to present new work on teacher training & critical lang awareness @ the 11th NSSHL in TX! In my talk, I’ll discuss the tools & strategies implemented in 1 of my MAT courses to challenge the pre-existing beliefs & harmful ling ideologies of pre/in-service lang teachers!

This week our Spanish MAT program at @Rutgers_Camden will be showcasing the transformative work of our former (and current!) students in their classrooms by hosting a virtual roundtable [1/3]

[Silvia Perez-Cortes @SilvPC]

As professors, we often hear pre/in-service teachers express their frustration about how difficult it is to bring innovation to curricula that leave very little room for change. The aim of this discussion is to show that innovation in K-12 lang teaching is indeed possible [2/3]

We worked together and completed the translation of 8 documents that RTB uses when enrolling Spanish-speaking families in Camden. The students were thrilled to help, and it showed them their skills can help so many in the community! This is @Rutgers_Camden! #raptortude

[Silvia Perez-Cortes @SilvPC]

Last week my advanced Spanish composition & conversation class completed their first community-engaged assignment! Everyone was excited (but also a little scared!) to be able to help our partner, Raise the Bar NJ, an NGO who works w/ families with children with disabilities [1/2]
