My teaching philosophy focuses on fostering critical thinking in students and encouraging them to reflect on their habits in both digital and non-digital environments, as well as on how these habits can benefit their academic and professional lives. My courses are grounded in a theoretical understanding of multiliteracies and the changes that students and teachers face with the expansion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Students’ practices, habits, and social interactions within visual culture—and their engagement with multiple screens—are constantly evolving alongside technological growth. However, simply staying up to date is not enough; critical thinking is essential. Through this approach, students are able to bridge theory and practice in real-world contexts.

​

     Additionally, I design my courses using an interdisciplinary approach in which collaboration plays a central role. This structure enables students to develop broader perspectives through intertextuality and dialogic engagement. Rhetoric and communication are central to my teaching philosophy. Research is integrated into writing instruction, enabling students to conduct both primary and secondary research and to formulate meaningful research questions. In this way, they apply theory to real-world issues within their communities and to contexts that matter to them. Students develop solutions that take shape in written and multimodal projects that extend beyond the classroom, including videos, video essays, podcasts, infographics, advertisements, digital portfolios, and social media content.

​

     User experience (UX) is an integral component of project design, encouraging students to consider audience, accessibility, and usability. Students also learn to adapt technical communication for diverse audiences. Moreover, I foster a classroom culture grounded in empathy and respect, ensuring that each course becomes a meaningful and transformative experience. My goal is for students to extend their learning beyond the classroom and apply their knowledge thoughtfully in their academic and professional lives.
