Teaching
My path as a University lecturer started in 2014, even though I had prior experience as a primary and high school teacher. My first position as a teaching assistant was at the University of General Sarmiento (UNGS) as part of the teaching department of the «Taller de Lectoescritura» ("Writing and reading skills course") of the Curso de Aprestamiento Universitario (CAU). That same year, I also became teaching assistant of the course named «Modelos Formales No Transformacionales» ("Non transformational formal models") at the B.A in Linguistics and Literature for the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), which I withhold until this day. In addition, I took part of the «Semiología» ("Semiology") course under Andrés Saab at the Ciclo Básico Común of the University of Buenos Aires. There are also several seminars and workshops in which I have participated. Below you can find some of my classes materials.

Seminar "Gramáticas formales: formalismos e implementaciones" [formal grammars: formalisms and computational implementations]
This seminar took place at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires during the first semester 2022.
B.A. Course "Modelos Formales No Transformacionales" [Non Transformational formal models]
"Non transformational formal models" is a regular course for the B.A. in Linguistics and Literature at the University of Buenos Aires. The course covers some fundamental conceptos of mathematical linguistics (language theory, formal grammars, automata, etc.), different formal grammar theories (especially HPSG, but also dependency grammars, categorial grammars, etc.) and some basic notions on Natural Language Processing (especially parsers and clustering techniques).
Jupyter Notebook with material for the classes in Python and Prolog.
Colaboration in "Herramientas para el Procesamiento de Textos en Python" [Tools for the Natural Language Processing with Python] (2019)
Colaboration in an extension course with Catalina Rubio and Fernando Schiaffino as Processors (Profesores Titulares) during the first semester, 2019 at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras.
The complete program, lectures and materials are available here. All materials are in Spanish.
Class 2 beamer presentation (on theory of languages)
Class 9 (on parsers) (Requisites: Jupyter Notebook, Python3, NLTK, RE, Spacy, Tkinter, Matplotlib)
Participation in "Escritura de Textos en LaTeX para Humanidades" [Writing skills in LaTeX for Humanities] (2019)
The course is taking place during 2019's first semester at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Buenos Aires) with Romina Trebisacce and I as Professors (Profesores Titulares) and Santiago Gualchi and Victoria Colombo as collaborators (Docentes colaboradores). You can find the program and classes by clicking here.
Summer B.A. Seminar "Estructura Informativa en un marco formal" [A formal approach to information structure] (2019)
This seminar is taken place in the summer, 2019 at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (University of Buenos Aires) with Carlos Muñoz Pérez as Professor (docente a cargo) and Matías Verdecchia and Fernando Carranza as Teaching Assistants (docentes colaboradores). Carlos' course materials are available in Carlos Muñoz Pérez' website. All material is in Spanish.

Handout of class 1, Unit 3: introduction to formal semantics
Handout of class 1, Unit 4: the Nuclear Stree Rule
Minicourse "Patrones de integración de eventos" [Event Integration patterns] (2018)
The course took place during 2018's second semester at the Universidad de Buenos Aires' Facultad de Derecho (Faculty of Law). It was organized by the Certified Translation B.A. and coordinated by Professor Sergio Murias. The aim of the course was to review the more relevant chapters of Talmy (2000) in order to understand his satellite-framed and verbal-framed languages typology in detail. Special emphasis was given to the contrastive analysis between English and Spanish. Below you can find the program and handouts of the course in Spanish.
Participation in "Herramientas para el procesamiento de textos en Python" [Tools for text processing with Python] (2018)
This course took place during 2018's first semester at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Buenos Aires) with Martín Kondratzky as Professor (Profesor Titular) and Macarena Fernández Urquiza, Fernando Schiaffino and me as collaborators (colaboradores). Julia Milanese, Victoria Colombo, Catalina Rubio, Federico Alvarez and Pablo Ceballos participated with the planning and teaching tasks as well. More information on the course and on our Computation Linguistic Group is available in the group's official website. Below, you can find the beamer presentation of the two classes I prepared, which dealt with language theory, complexity theory and formal grammars.
Summer B.A. seminar "Sintaxis, forma y significado" [Syntax, form and meaning] (2018)
This seminar took place at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Buenos Aires), with Carlos Muñoz Pérez as Professor (Docente a Cargo) and Matías Verdecchia and me as Teaching Assistants (Docentes Auxiliares). Particularly, I was in charge of the Unit 2, which dealt with the mapping problem between form and meaning in the passive diathesis. Below, you can find the beamer presentations for that unit. The material is in Spanish. Other materials from the course are available on Carlos Muñoz Pérez' personal website.
Part 1- Introduction to argument alternations
Part 2- Towards a crosslinguistic definition of passive
Part 3- Different implementations for the passive
Part 3 bis- Handout with some Atribute-Value matrix
B.A. Seminar «El orden de palabras como problema teórico descriptivo» (2017)
This seminar, which took place at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Buenos Aires), was in charge of Carlos Muñoz Pérez. I was invited to teach two classes. Below, you can find the beamer presentation for these two classes. More information on the seminar is available on Carlos Muñoz Pérez' personal website.

The seminar took place at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (Universidad de Buenos Aires) and had Andrés Saab as Associate Professor (Profesor Adjunto), who took charge of the theoretical classes, and me as a Teaching Assistant (Docente Auxiliar), who took charge of the practical part of the seminar. Below, you can find the excercise compilation for the whole semester with solutions. The compilation includes both original and adapted excercises from the literature. The theoretical handout compilation is available at Andrés Saab's personal website.

Participation in couse "Herramientas computacionales para el procesamiento automático de textos" [Computational tools for automatic text processing] (2017)
The course was in charge of Julia Milanese, with Federico Álvarez, Catalina Rubio and Victoria Colombo as collaborators. Macarena Fernández Urquiza, Martín Kondratzky, Fernando Schiaffino and I participated with the planning and teaching tasks as well. More information about the course and our Computational Linguistics Group is available here (the website is only in Spanish). The course covered different tools for Natural Language Processing ordered progressively according to the linguistic analysis level involved (lexicon, morphology, syntax, semantics). Below, you can find the link to the introductory class I taught within the course, in which I presented some basic notions of language theory, automata, formal grammars and computational complexity.
