Research Interests
- cognitive pragmatics
- interlanguage pragmatics
- L2 instruction
- teacher education
I am keen on bringing learners and instructors awareness to (cognitive) pragmatics as a key aspect of how successful and effective communication is achieved in the L2, thereby narrowing the gap between what is learned/taught in the classroom and what students/instructors truly need. My main research contribution is the focus on the role of inferential processes in oral communication, and the need to raise awareness in teaching environments of the wide range of communicative acts language learners need to process and recover meaning in real-life interactions.

Biography
Since August 2023, I am an Assistant Professor of Japanese in the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics at UL. Prior to joining UL, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Japanese at the University of Toledo (Ohio, United States), and an Adjunct Professor of Japanese at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Once a semester, I collaborate with the Open University of Catalonia teaching a postgraduate module in General Linguistics for Translators.
I hold a PhD in Applied Linguistics from Dublin City University, My thesis examined the need to bring together pragmatics theory and educational practices to prepare language and culture instructors to teach learners how to communicate effectively in Japanese as an L2. I was funded by the School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies at Dublin City University (2017-2019) and the Irish Research Council (2019-2021).
