Profile
I have been involved in English language teaching for over 15 years, working as an EFL teacher, lecturer, teacher trainer and researcher in Argentina and the UK. I specialise in teacher cognition, teacher education, and teacher development. I have a particular interest in teacher knowledge and beliefs, the experiential and educational sources which inform them, and the contextual factors impinging on teachers’ practices. My current research projects involve the study of teacher cognition and student cognition in higher education in relation to a range of teaching areas such as assessment and feedback. Other teaching and research interests include language awareness (particularly grammar teaching) and qualitative research.
I am a member of the British Association for Applied Linguistics and of the editorial board of the Argentinian Journal of Applied Linguistics.
