Bahiyyih Hardacre, Ph.D.

Background and Experience

I joined the Cal State LA's Charter College of Education in 2015. My home program is the M.A. in TESOL, which is housed in the division of Applied and Advanced Studies in Education. Some of my research interests include critical discourse analysis and conversation analysis, language pedagogy, language assessment, second/foreign language acquisition and learning, and neurobiology and cognition research on language learning and use. 

I started teaching back in 1996! Through these many years, I acquired experience teaching at various levels and background settings, both in Brazil (my home country) and in the U.S., ranging from secondary grades to higher education, and from ESL/EFL classes to content areas in applied linguistics and English composition.

At Cal State LA, I have served as chair on several M.A. theses and Ed.D. dissertations on a range of areas, listed below.
