Pia Tenedero

Dr. Pia Tenedero serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the University of Santo Tomas (Manila, Philippines) and holds an Honorary Research Fellowship at Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia), where she completed her PhD. Her dual appointments reflect deep engagement with Philippine linguistic contexts and international academic collaboration.

Her educational foundation includes a PhD in Linguistics from Macquarie University, with doctoral research focused on language practices and ideologies among globalized accountants. This work established her trajectory in critical sociolinguistics and professional discourse analysis.

Tenedero's research spans English language learning, intercultural communication, multilingualism, and discourse analysis, with particular emphasis on globalization's impact on professional communication and social media. She critically examines linguistic landscapes, language ideologies, and the sociopolitical dimensions of multilingualism, especially within Philippine cultural contexts and transnational professional environments. Her work consistently bridges theoretical rigor with real-world applications in education and global workplaces.

Analysis of her 2017-2024 publications reveals a cohesive trajectory examining language at the intersection of globalization, crisis, and professional identity. Early work established foundations in minority language studies, while pandemic-era research pivoted to lockdown communication and remote work discourse. Recent publications increasingly explore water metaphors in language research, faith-based communication, and Philippine linguistic policy, demonstrating methodological consistency in discourse analysis applied to evolving sociolinguistic challenges.

No scientific awards were documented in the source materials. While specific student mentorship details are absent, her collaborative output—including co-authorship with Maria Regina P. Arriero and participation in the Next Gen Literacies network—indicates active academic community engagement. Her research networks extend to international collaborations, such as work with Prof Ingrid Gogolin on language perspectives.
