Faculty Spotlight
Beatriz Lado joined the Department of Languages and Literatures in Fall 2011 as an Assistant Professor in Spanish. She received her M.A. in Linguistics from Louisiana State University, and an M.S. and Ph. D. in Spanish Applied Linguistics from Georgetown University. Before coming to Lehman, Beatriz was an Assistant Professor at the University of San Diego, where she served as the language coordinator and taught language and linguistics courses. Her current research focuses on the interaction between external (e.g., type of feedback and degree of explicitness in pedagogical interventions) and internal variables (e.g., prior language experience and cognitive capacity) in the development of a non-primary language. At Lehman, she teaches Spanish language and linguistics courses. Starting in the summer of 2012, she will serve as the director of the Linguistics interdisciplinary program.
