I strongly believe in the power of outreach and sharing our findings with our peers. For this reason, I have volunteered in three countries (in academic and non-academic contexts), presented in conferences and colloquia, as well as given academic talks, educational workshops and masterclasses.
The scope of my presentations includes linguistics (language acquisition and cognitive linguistics), language teaching (Portuguese and English), professional development for educators, and instructional design.
