Biography
Dr. George investigates how learners of Spanish become more competent in various contexts, such as online environments, face-to-face classes, and immersion (i.e. study abroad). This encompasses a variety of fields within Second Language Acquisition, including Sociolinguistics, Phonology and Phonetics and Pragmatics. She also investigates how learners of Spanish and first language (L1) speakers utilize and develop linguistic features that vary due to social, geographical or linguistic reasons as well as the teaching of these variable features to learners of Spanish.
