I have extensive experience teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in general linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and TESOL having prepared over twenty courses. Over the course of my career as a linguist, I have designed courses across in-person, hybrid, and fully online formats. My teaching experience spans diverse contexts, including institutions in Ireland, Puerto Rico, and New York City. Here is a sample of my most recent syllabus. Here is an example assignment with instructions and a sample student assignment featured in an anthropology blog. My YouTube channel features some of the many videos I created to instruct topics in sociolinguistics during COVID-19.
Here are some of the courses I’ve designed at these institutions:
