Raquel Fern\u00e1ndez Fuertes<\/h3>

Raquel Fern\u00e1ndez Fuertes is an associate professor in the Department of English at the University of Valladolid (Spain) and she is the director of the UVALAL research group (University of Valladolid Language Acquisition Lab). She specializes in linguistic theory, comparative grammar and bilingual acquisition. In her research she makes use of linguistic theory and, in particular, of minimalist premises in order to account for language-contact phenomena and the latent relationship between native and non-native acquisition. This is achieved by means of the analyses of spontaneous and experimental data elicited via different methodologies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Esther \u00c1lvarez de la Fuente is a professor in the Department of English at the University of Valladolid (Spain). Her main research interest is the morphosyntactic analysis of the cases of natural interpreting\/translation (the translation done by bilinguals in everyday circumstances without academic formation in it) performed by bilingual children together with the analysis of the development of the translation ability in natural interpreters. As a member of the UVALAL research group, she works on the analysis of linguistic phenomena related to languages in contact observed in both spontaneous and experimental data from child and adult bilinguals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Tamara G\u00f3mez Carrero<\/h3>

Tamara G\u00f3mez Carrero is a professor in the English Department at the University of Valladolid (Spain). Her main research interests are bilingual and second language acquisition. More specifically, she works on the analysis of linguistic phenomena arising in language contact situations. Her investigation explores the acquisition, processing and perception of grammatical gender by bilingual speakers using different methodologies (eyetracking, reaction times). Through the analysis of experimental data, her research seeks to uncover how grammatical features are represented in the mind of bilingual speakers and the (psycho)linguistic processes involved. As a member of the UVALAL research group, she works on the design of experimental tasks and on the collection of linguistic data from bilingual children and adults. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Mar\u00eda Teresa (Maite) Mart\u00ednez Garc\u00eda<\/h3>

Maite Mart\u00ednez Garc\u00eda is a tenure-track professor in the Department of English Philology at the Duques de Soria Campus of the University of Valladolid (Spain). Her research focuses on speech perception in second-language (L2) learners, particularly on lexical stress processing and the effects of orthography on word recognition in L2. From an experimental perspective, she employs eye-tracking and acoustic analysis to examine how native speakers of various languages (German, Chinese, Korean, French, Japanese, and English) process phonological information in L2 acquisition contexts. As a member of the GIR UVALAL research group, she works with both spontaneous and experimental data from adults and children in language contact situations. Her research is framed within bilingual processing and L2 speech perception models, contributing to a deeper understanding of the cognitive mechanisms underlying word recognition in a second language.v<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Eduardo G\u00f3mez Garzar\u00e1n is a full time English and content subjects teacher and the coordinator of the English-Spanish bilingual section at Colegio Ave Mar\u00eda in Valladolid (Spain) since 2006. He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Valladolid. He defended his PhD dissertation in 2023. His doctoral research revolves around cross-linguistic influence and word order within the determiner phrase domain in structures presenting nominal modification by adjectives and by nouns. This is explored in the case of Spanish native children learning English as a second language in formal educational contexts with and without explicit instruction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Ali Behzadnia joined the UVALAL research group (University of Valladolid Language Acquisition Lab) as a postdoctoral researcher fellow in 2025. Ali finished his PhD in the International Doctorate for Experimental Approaches to Language and Brain (IDEALAB) Program in Germany and Australia in 2024. He is interested in how words with different morphemes are learned and processed in a first and a second language, focusing on complex novel word learning and processing in English as L1 and L2, both in its oral and written dimension. He is expanding his research to native Spanish speakers with English as their L2 using offline and online tasks, and eye-tracking tasks as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Susana Merino Ma\u00f1ueco is an adjunct professor in the Department of Spanish Language at the University of Valladolid (Spain). She holds a PhD in Spanish: Linguistics, Literature and Communication in 2018 (University of Valladolid). Her research focuses on second language acquisition. In particular, she is part of the interdisciplinary area of Applied Linguistics in L2 teaching-learning focused on teacher error correction and feedback, during L2 written production activities in Primary Education. Her research line aims to contribute to L2 teachers’ ongoing training on error as a result of the strong affective-motivational impact it has on correction and feedback.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
