Research projects 
 

In my PhD thesis, I explore how the intensity of exposure to different languages in the classroom influences students' communicative appropriateness at the primary level. In particular, it explores different intensity language programs in the Valencian Community, which involve the use of two official languages (Catalan and Spanish) and English as an additional language in CLIL settings.  In addition, I take into account the impact of input exposure beyond the classroom, with a focus on the variables of media in all languages, perceptions towards the languages and extracurricular instruction in English. 

 Alongside my PhD, I have been working on a variety of studies related to the topics and contexts listed below.​
