Katherine V. Denton, M.A., Spanish Lecturer M.A., UNC-Wilmington |
After growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Katherine Denton attended the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where she studied Spanish, Chemistry, and Biology. In 2009 after completing her undergraduate thesis, “Gabriel García Márquez, el realismo mágico y la identidad caribeña de Colombia,” Katherine graduated with University Honors and a B.A. in Spanish. In 2011, she graduated with a M.A. in Spanish also from UNCW. Her areas of interest and research while attending the M.A. program included language pedagogy, Spanish Phonetics and Phonology, and the Spanish of the United States. While completing her M.A., Katherine began teaching Spanish language courses at UNCW and became passionate about teaching the language to students of various backgrounds. Her goal as a teacher of a foreign language is to expose students to the linguistic and grammatical forms, meanings, and functions of Spanish and to provide opportunities that motivate students to speak the language and explore Hispanic culture.
