From a lecture at the University of Białystok - Erasmus+ Exchange 2024

My teaching philosophy centers on fostering transformative learning experiences within second language education and literacy. I prioritize integrating critical, multimodal, and digital literacies into the curriculum, encouraging students to engage with language learning as a powerful tool for social justice and advocacy.

My courses and extensive mentorship emphasize culturally sustaining pedagogies, often drawing from experiences and insights rooted in the Global South. I prepare future educators to critically analyze and design innovative language teaching practices, including the integration of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and gaming.

​Through guiding dissertations, theses, and practical projects, my goal is to cultivate reflective practitioners capable of bridging theoretical knowledge with effective, human-centered pedagogical praxis.
