Professor Gonzalez connects you to the world through language.
Professor Eloy Gonzalez stresses the importance of communicating in at least two languages. “The ability to communicate in a foreign language contributes to a student’s overall achievement of personal and professional career goals.”
Gonzalez believes that diversity is essential for the challenges of the future in our interconnected world. “When studying a foreign language," he says, "students have the unique opportunity to understand their nature as young men and women and their relationship to the world about them. Such realization leads to a different approach to learning and growing and extends far beyond the language classroom.”
Gonzalez uses a communicative and interactive teaching style, and has high expectations for students. Current Chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures, he teaches undergraduate and graduate Spanish language courses along with a research methodology class.
Widely published and the author of two books, Gonzalez has collaborated with graduate students on research focused on providing better explanation and new interpretation of literary works by Spanish or Latin American authors. These team efforts resulted in three published articles in professional journals.
