Dr. William John Biringer Email and Phone Number

I am currently an Associate Professor of ESL at CEU Universidad Cardenal Hererra in Castellón. I teach Intermediate and Upper Intermediate English classes to Medical, Nursing, Exercise Science, Education, and Culinary majors, who must pass the European Union Language Exams. Previously I taught at IFundación FSU International Programs Valencia, where I was a Professor of Spanish Language and Humanities. During my 23 years with the program, I taught and prepared various levels of Spanish Language and HUmanities, designed courses, and accompanied the students on various cultural trips with the program where I served as a historical guide and support for logistics. Specific teaching and research areas that I have focused on in Spanish and Humanities include the social, economic, and popular cultural importance of the SEAT 600 vehicle in Spanish Post Civil War Literature, Franquismo, History and Civilization of Valencia, Bullfighting, Architecture, Art History, Human Rights, European Literature, Cinema, and the material culture of the Fallas Festival. Furthermore, I designed a very unique course for the FSU Program called “Satire, Fire, and Artisanship” which discusses the history and development of Las Fallas, but also offers a international comparison of festivals in Spain, Mexico, Phillippines, Italy, and USA. Moreover, I have used my position as Vice President, Vice Secretary, and Historian in the fallas community to help give a unique insider perspective that serves as the basis of the festivals course. Outside of the foundation, I have been a Professor of English Language and worked in academies across the City of Valencia. I have helped students prepare for Cambridge Examinations (KET, PET, and CAE), and the Pearson Language Examination; in which I am a certified Interlocutor. I have also given classes in Business English.In addition to 23 years of teaching and research, I hold a Masters in Foreign Languages and a Bachelor In Spanish. I have also attended and given various conferences in the USA and Valencia on a variety of subjects. Currently, I will be starting profesional development courses in Indumentaria Valenciana and La Roma Valenciana to further enhance my knowledge on those subjects so that my Spanish and Humanities courses can be more potent.Finally, here on Linkedin, Monday thriugh Friday I will be posting on both the intracacies of English and Spanish Languages to help people along with their acquisition of them.
