Verónica Darer
I am from Caracas, Venezuela. I received my M.A.T. in Spanish and E.S.O.L. from the School for International Training/World Learning and my Ph.D. in
Multilingual/Multicultural Education from the University of Florida. My areas of interest are language education, teacher education, multicultural education,
bilingual education, and language acquisition. My research focuses on the analysis of discourse in second language classrooms and pedagogical
processes of multilingual/multicultural classrooms. Currently, I teach Elementary and Intermediate Spanish as well as a course in Issues in Multicultural
Education.
My recent publications include:
- 2004-Co-author of Reflejos, a Spanish language and culture text, workbook, video, and CD-ROM.
- 2002-“My German-Jewish-Venezuelan Identity” in Taking Root: Narratives of Jewish Women in Latin America.
- 2003-“Gabriela Mistral as a Teacher: Revisiting Lucila Godoy Alcayaga’s Pedagogical Assumptions” in Gabriela Mistral: The Audacious Traveler.
I live with my husband Enrique and we have two daughters - Gisela and Mónica. Gisela and her husband Michael live in London with their daughter,
Alexandra. Mónica and her husband Daniel live in Bangkok. When I am not working, I love to watch Independent Films, entertain friends, and of
course travel the world to visit my growing family.
