  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    The overarching objective of my mentorship philosophy is to foster curiosity and personal investment by inviting my mentees into my area of expertise and by sharing the knowledge and skills I have obtained. Where my experience and knowledge are limited, I encourage mentees to learn with me, helping them to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. I recognize that not all mentees will share my enthusiasm for linguistics, but I believe the skills mentees can gain from this type of work will be applicable to a broad range of research-intensive fields.

    To help students develop these skills, I help to identify their own research goals and to tailor their tasks to build competence and confidence in these areas. My role involves engaging them in critical thinking, prompting them to question assumptions and analyze research relevant to their field and beyond. I also want to help them learn how to plan out and implement large projects. I emphasize the importance of mastering goal-setting, communication, effective writing, editing, and basic statistical analysis. These skills are crucial across disciplines and can significantly enhance a mentee’s versatility and career prospects.

    I enjoy sharing insights from my research experience and encouraging questions about the research process. My hope is that mentees perceive us as collaborators and feel assured of my investment in their research journey. By integrating communication, openness, and curiosity into my mentorship, I aim to empower mentees to develop their potential and find fulfillment in their professional pursuits.

  overall_research_project_description: "This project explores the effect of second language instruction methods on language acquisition outcomes. In particular, it compares the effects of input-based instruction (listening/reading) and output-based instruction (speaking/writing) on the acquisition of a particular grammar form in Spanish (direct object pronouns). Critically, the effectiveness of these methods will be assessed using four different tasks designed to get at changes in the mental representation of this grammatical form in the learner's cognitive system. A secondary research question is whether the learner's proficiency level at the time of treatment affects the outcomes of these instructional interventions. This project will help to inform second language instructional methods so that classroom-based learning can become more effective. This is a dissertation research project."
