Read about me here (Heinemann) or here (UMU).
I started my collaboration with the English Department in the University of Murcia, Spain, in 1996. After a research stay in the University of Texas at Austin, I completed my PhD in Applied Linguistics in 1999. I currently teach CALL and Applied Linguistics. I am also a Sworn/Official Translator.
My main interests are quantitative research of register variation, the compilation and use of language corpora and the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies in Foreign Language Teaching/Learning.
I am a member of the Research Group Lingüística Aplicada Computacional, Enseñanza de Lenguas y Lexicografía (LACELL).
I directed a research project funded by the SENECA agency on orality. I am also the coordinator of a MINERVA project funded by the European Commission: SACODEYL (225836-CP-1-2005-1-ES-MINERVA-M SACODEYL). At the moment, I am involved in corpus-based international projects such as LINDSEI (UCL) and ICCI (TUFS) .
