I am a senior lecturer at the University of Cadiz, Spain, where I teach Maritime English to undergraduates and Master’s students.

I have published internationally on various aspects pertaining to these researching topics and have co-edited the compilation English for Specific Purposes: Studies for Classroom Development and Implementation (2007). I was editor-in-chief of the LSP journal Ibérica between 2006 and 2014 and am at present Books Review Editor for the international journal ESP Today. Journal of English for Specific Purposes at Tertiary Level. I have also served in the scientific boards of national and international conferences and assisted national and international journals as peer reviewer.

I am a full-time researcher at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and an English Studies PhD
candidate at the same university. My research interests focus on the impact of emotional
constructs in metacognition and language performance. I also have research experience on the
fields of language teaching, education, language learning strategies, and corpora analysis. I am
currently studying ESL academics’ writing for research publication so as to analyze the
relationships between emotional constructs, metacognitive strategy use, and academic writing
for publication experience and expertise. This is helping me to develop a psycholinguistics
framework that will hopefully benefit further research. You can find all my details on LinkedIn.
