Estefany Macías Rioja

I am a full-time associate professor at CEPE, UNAM. I hold a master’s degree in Asian and African Studies with a specialization in China from El Colegio de México, and a bachelor’s degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at UNAM. I teach Spanish as a second language and have also taught in CEPE’s Teacher Training Courses for Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL), as well as in UNAM’s postgraduate program in the Specialization in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I have coordinated the PAPIME projects SFL Class Videos: Materials for Teacher Training and Spanish for East Asian Students (Chinese, Korean, and Japanese): Student Materials and Teacher Booklets. I am the author of the booklet Observation of Language Classes to Train and Improve Professional Teaching Practice. My main areas of research include the teaching of Spanish to Mandarin Chinese speakers, the teaching of Spanish to students from East Asia, and SFL teacher training.
