During the months of October and November, Professor Roman-Mendoza was a Visiting Scholar at the prestigious University of Salamanca (USAL) in Spain. During her research stay at the Cátedra de Altos Estudios del Español, she delivered two plenary talks titled, “Technology and Best Practices in the field of Spanish as a Second Language” and “Open-Access Publishing: Challenges and Opportunities,” as well as one workshop on The Digital Identity of Spanish Language Teachers. She conducted a 7-week graduate seminar called “E-learning and Second Language Teaching,” and presented “Engaging Students in Curriculum Development: The Case of an Undergraduate Course in Digital Humanities” at TEEM´16 and “Emerging Trends in E-learning in the U.S.” in Expocampus 2016. She also participated as an expert in Instructional Technologies in several joint research projects. Her stay at USAL has given Professor Román-Mendoza the opportunity to advance her work on her upcoming book on e-learning and language learning while tightening research and academic ties between GMU and USAL.
