María Ángeles VELILLA SÁNCHEZ

I am Ph.D. candidate in English Applied Linguistics with an emphasis on discourse analysis and pragmatics at the University of Zaragoza (Spain).  My main interests are the study of English as a Lingua Franca (pragmatic strategies), internationalization, languages policies and practices and English as Medium of Instruction. I am currently working as fellow assistant providing support on the translation into English and updating process of the Science Faculty website at the University of Zaragoza.
