“I use the online environment to help students vividly imagine themselves in the world. I integrate technology as they use it in real life. For my course Food in the Hispanic World, they research recipes and holidays, and food traditions of specific regions. For Cities of the Spanish-Speaking World, they create itineraries, travel diaries, and learn to make fake selfies so they can post pics of their travels. Finally, in Stories of Fantasy and Terror, they explore legends and folktales. I encourage students to express their personal preferences and experiences while learning the language.”
