The Lab for Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Task-based Research is part of the Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University. We conduct interdisciplinary and mixed-methods research on how second languages are learned and taught with a particular focus on cognitive-interactionist and task-based approaches.

The Language and Culture Research Group – GRILEC, belonging to the Faculty of Educational Sciences, Catholic University of Maule, was born from the FONDECYT Project 11190448 and the interest of academics in the field of teaching and learning of second languages to generate knowledge that allows promoting discussion about the current state and perspectives of the language in connection with social, cultural and linguistic aspects.
Alongside my dissertation, I work on projects that bring language assessment research to teachers and programs. Most of them are at the Assessment and Evaluation Language Resource Center (AELRC), where I've been a Research Assistant since 2024 under the direction of Dr. Megan Montee.
I designed the curriculum for this four-week virtual course for language educators, which focuses on building and using rubrics for feedback and grading. I co-taught it with Megan Montee in Spring 2026 and led it in Fall 2026.
This project examines the outcomes of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships. As project leader, I designed the survey, recruited participants, conducted interviews, and led the analysis. We shared findings at ACTFL 2025 and ECOLT 2025.
LAPOT is an observation tool I developed to document how language teachers assess in their classrooms, as a complement to self-report measures. I presented its development and pilot at ECOLT 2025.
As a Research Assistant with Dr. Lara Bryfonski, I managed participant recruitment and applications, maintained the program website, and analyzed data from previous cohorts.
