Alejandro recently finished his MA in Learning and Teaching Processes in Second Languages from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. He also holds a BA in English and bilingualism from Fundación Universitaria Compensar. He has had experience as a researcher in a research group called "EFL Didactics" at Fundación Universitaria Compensar whose main research field was the development of non-authentic contextualized digital materials for the decolonization of the teaching of English as a foreign language in Colombia. On the one hand, he has published a research chapter as a co-author and essays in academic journals. On the other hand, his field of research during his master's studies was the exploration of the different ways in which English teachers have incorporated critical literacy within their classrooms in Colombian schools. He is currently a full-time lecturer at Corporación Unificada Nacional de Educación Superior (CUN) in Bogotá. He joined the LSLP research group in June 2024. Research Alejandro's field of research focuses primarily on exploring the various ways in which critical literacy can be implemented throughout language classrooms (especially English) in Colombia. Additionally, another active area of research within his academic profile is the development of contextualized digital teaching materials for the decolonization of language teaching practices in Colombia (especially in English teaching). Within his area of research interest within the LSLP group is the exploration of translanguaging and critical literacy for an equitable bilingualism within the diverse multicultural and pluriethnic Colombian context. |
