Meet the CUSLAR Spanish instructor!

Edward Curran is a fourth year graduate student at Cornell University in the Department of Romance Studies pursuing a PhD in Hispanic Studies.

For the past ten years he has taught Spanish language classes in various academic and professional settings: both at the community college and university level and seminars designed for medical professionals. His diverse instructional experience has also afforded him the opportunity to work with a wide range of individuals with unique backgrounds and learning goals, from college students meeting second language requirements to lifelong learners taking coursework for pure enjoyment.

Edward describes his teaching philosophy:

“Above all, I strive to create a comfortable classroom environment for my students in order to inspire confidence when speaking Spanish. Each learner is unique, and I try to assist them in setting and achieving their own learning goals.

“There is nothing I enjoy more than witnessing a student’s “aha moment” when a particular concept that they have been working on just clicks. I view language instruction as much more than just repetitive grammar and vocabulary drills. Each class is like a conversation, a dialogue among learners who are day by day building confidence and competency in written and spoken Spanish in order to engage native speakers in their community and abroad.”
