Biography

I have been Assistant Professor (SoTL) at the University of Galway since 2006. I hold a postgraduate masters of Education in English, and graduated with BA in English Philology at University of Valladolid, Spain and a Ph.D. in Language Teaching and Learning later in 2013 with University of Valladolid, Spain. The University of Galway is also my alma mater as I graduated with an MA Spanish with a focus on translation. I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher education in 2022 in the University of Galway and I am a UDL Badge Facilitator from 2022. I am also an Ally ambassador at the university.

My research runs along three main threads I welcome Ph.D. students on any of these topics.:
1) Spanish Language Teaching and Learning and student voice.
2) Translation Studies and Children and Young Adult fiction.
3) Skills for the Development of Creative Competence.

Active Projects:

- Research Network for Children's Literature Translation Studies: https://cltsconference.wordpress.com/

- Creativity and AI in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning.

Research Interests

My Ph.D. dissertation focused on the use of classroom research tools for enhancement of the language classroom at university level. The case study I developed enabled student voices to lead and discuss current language teaching and learning approaches and provided the tools for a continuous assessment of teaching by students, more relevant that student feedback at the end of the module. I aim to support research on language teaching and learning for the development of independent-learning, intercultural and creative competences.

I am also translating and doing research on Children and YA fiction, mainly on translation of children character identity, the treatment of taboo topics through cultures and the readership response in these texts and audiovisual materials.
