I hold a BA degree in English Studies and Linguistics from the University
of the Basque Country. I received my Doctor Europeus PhD (with
distinction) in 2011 from the University of the Basque Country with a
thesis on the acquisition of tense by bilingual CLIL and non-CLIL English
learners.

I am currently an Associate Professor of English Philology at the Public University of Navarra,
where I teach an undergradute course on Content and Language Integrated Learning
(Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lengua Extranjera) in the BA in
Infant and Primary Education, as well as a course on Teaching English to Very Young Learners (Didáctica de la lengua Extranjera: Inglés) in the BA in Infant Education. I also teach a course on CLIL in the Master’s
programme for Secondary Teacher training (Máster Universitario en
Formación del Profesorado de Educación Secundaria). My previous teaching
includes various English undergraduate courses in the BA in Infant and
Primary Education and in the BA in Labour Relations and Human Resources at
the Public University of Navarra. Furthermore, I have also taught training
courses about CLIL outside the university and have worked on innovation
projects in education and in the field of foreign language learning for
the workforce.

My primary research interests focus on foreign language acquisition in
instructional environments and specifically on CLIL learning contexts and
on how interaction facilitates the learning of a foreign language,
particularly, among young learners. My interests also include Teacher Training and the promotion of Key Competences. I am currently part of two research
groups Language and Speech Laboratory (Laslab) from the University of the
Basque Country and Applied linguistics: Language Acquisition and Language
Teaching from the Public University of Navarra.
