Jen Vojtko Rubi is an Assistant Professor Educator and Coordinator of the Intensive Basic Spanish Language Program at the University of Cincinnati. She received her Ph.D in Second Language Acquisition from the University of Iowa and has graduate degrees in English as a Second Language and Spanish Linguistics. For her dissertation, she investigated how students in a flipped course constructed meaning from their out-of-class resources and explored their strategy use and learning paths. This led to the development of a training model for effective learning in flipped Spanish language courses.  Jen is interested in TA training, the role of metacognition in language teaching and learning, and technology enhanced language learning.
