Anna Veronica Mendoza serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois and holds a secondary appointment as Assistant Professor at the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies. Her research bridges applied linguistics and educational practice with emphasis on multilingual contexts.
Her primary research foci include:
- Social, cultural, and political dimensions of translanguaging practices
- Micro-level ideological shaping through stylization in English-medium instruction
- Teacher identity formation in transnational educational settings
- Development of assessment frameworks for multilingual classrooms
- Critical approaches to language education policy and implementation
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate concentrated scholarship on translanguaging, featuring a contextual framework for critical pedagogy, the CACTI assessment tool, and analyses of teacher awareness regarding sociopolitical indexicalities. Her work on EAP teacher identities and EMI stylization reveals how macro-institutional forces interact with micro-level classroom practices, highlighting tensions between teacher agency and systemic constraints in globalized education.
