I am currently an associate professor and researcher within the Language Acquisition Research Group (GRAL) at the University of Barcelona. My research interests are wide and they include second language production and interaction, task design (with a focus on needs analysis and task complexity and linguistic difficulty), oral and written CAF, and personalization and adaptivity in serious games. More recently I have been working on a Spanish Ministry project on the effects on early vocabulary learning of captioned video under different TV genres .  I have also been leading a group of researchers from the University of Barcelona within a Horizon 2020 project led by University College London, where we are working on the development of reading skills through adaptive and integrated technologies (iRead project https://iread-project.eu/).
