Bi/multilingual language acquisition, the interaction between pedagogical interventions and individual differences, language placement, and critical and social justice approaches to language teaching and learning, including exploring the impact that critical approaches to teaching Spanish at the college level has on language minoritized and racialized learners (both Latinxs and non-Latinxs), and specifically on how they develop critical linguistic awareness and negotiate their language ideologies, capital, identities, and investment in the language learning process.
