NURIA GELADO

Language teacher and educational creator

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

I consider myself an educational creator because of my never ending urge to keep exploring and create better ways of teaching and learning.

I'm specialized in the realm of languages, but I draw from many different perspectives: visual media and communications, educational psychology, cultural studies, and sociology.

I was born in Spain and moved to London when I was 19 years old where I completed my undergraduate studies in the fields of cultural studies, sociology, and communications.

My journey towards mastering the English language made me reflect a lot about the way people learn languages and prompted me to do my postgraduate studies in the field of second language acquisition.

I specialized in teaching Spanish and English as a second language and have been working teaching these two languages for over 14 years in schools and universities in various countries, which has given me plenty of opportunities to develop and excel my teaching practice. I am passionate about research on how humans learn languages and I have followed prominent linguists ideas on how to develop the best teaching practice.

At the moment I teach Spanish to undergraduate students in Sabanci University, Istanbul, where I also work as the world languages coordinator.

I am also a language learning materials designer and recently have published a Spanish learning course book named 'Activas'.

For the last three years, my interest has shifted towards the e-learning and educational technology fields. I have created numerous digital materials with the aim to build bridges between the latest findings in second language acquisition research and online language teaching practices.

Flipspanish is an online creative project where all my years of research and teaching experience culminate.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY?

"Nuria is a great teacher, one of the best I've ever known. She is very hardworking and she cares deeply about us and our learning process. Course content and structure are carefully prepared and the way she teaches Spanish is very effective."
