About

Rebeca Cerezo is a leading researcher in educational technology and applied linguistics, with a focus on leveraging innovative tools to enhance language acquisition. Her work bridges the gap between emerging digital interfaces and pedagogical practice, particularly for young learners. Her most-cited paper, "A holographic mobile-based application for practicing pronunciation of basic English vocabulary for Spanish speaking children" (2018, 76 citations), exemplifies her pioneering contributions. In this study, Cerezo developed and evaluated a mobile app that uses holographic displays to engage Spanish-speaking children in English pronunciation practice, demonstrating how immersive, interactive technologies can improve phonetic accuracy and motivation in early language learning. This work has been widely recognized for its practical impact on bilingual education and its novel integration of augmented reality into mobile-assisted language learning. Cerezo’s research has significant implications for designing accessible, culturally responsive digital tools that support diverse learners. Her ongoing projects continue to explore the intersection of human-computer interaction and second language acquisition, making her a key voice in the evolution of technology-enhanced education.
