Miguel Sabol
English Teaching Assistantship  |  2023-24

Brazil

Miguel Sabol has always had a passion for learning languages himself, and took on this challenge after receiving his Bachelor's of Arts in International Studies and Spanish from UNM. He also earned minors in Portuguese and Communication & Journalism with an Honors Distinction in International Studies in 2021.

Sabol has also been awarded a Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) for beginner study of Portuguese in 2020, and currently holds a U.S. Department of Education Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship for advanced Portuguese provided by the Latin American and Iberian Institute.

He says UNM’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese allowed him to teach Spanish for the past four semesters, developing his interest in teaching languages as well. 

In addition to languages and Brazilian cultural studies, Sabol has interests in diplomacy, critical development studies, and human rights issues. He hopes to one day work in the U.S. Foreign Service and help others take part in international education opportunities and cultural exchanges.
