Areas of interest

My main area of interest is in the field of corpus linguistics. I am currently investigating the impact of Study Abroad programmes on the language skills of translation students. Additionally, I'm studying the way in which Short Study Abroad experiences affect the psycho-affective factors involved in foreign language learning, all framed by a decolonizing and intercultural approach examined through mixed research methods. Secondary lines of research include language of instruction, second language acquisition, and learning contexts.

Teaching

I convene and teach:

Advanced Spanish I (SP1L3, SP2L3, SP3L3)
IWLP Spanish 3 (LA1PS3).

I also co-teach:

Beginners Spanish Language (SP1L1).

Research centres and groups

I am a member of the research group “Communicative and Intercultural Skills in Foreign Language” (University of Valladolid) and a collaborator of the research project “PaGeS 2.0. Optimization of a Multifunctional Resource for Language Learning, Translation and Linguistic-Contrastive Research” (University of Santiago de Compostela).
