====== PhD mentorship & external member of PhD vivas and promotion committees======

I’ve taken part in tens of PhD schools across Europe and Asia including the Inter-University Doctoral Programme in Advanced English Studies: Linguistics, Literature and Culture- Universities of A Coruña (UDC), Santiago de Compostela (USC) and Vigo (U. Vigo) or the University of Oxford 2018 PhD students’ exchange seminar. I was one of the organizers of the ECR early careers researcher symposium for the Language Sciences 2019 at U. Cambridge. At the Doctoral Summer School in Applied Linguistics at the University of Malta 2019 & 2023 I was a member of a world-leading team of applied linguistics researchers including Prof Lourdes Ortega, Prof Sara Mercer or Prof  Shelley Staples. Recently I set up the first edition of the international research webinar on DDL for young researchers and early career researchers. Some 60 PhD students took part in the event, which was coordinated by a former Phd student Dr Ordoñana and a PhD student from the University of Lorraine on a research stay in my research group.  Some of my former PhD students are developing exciting research careers worldwide: Dr Belén Diez-Bedmar, U. Jaén; Dr Joyce Lim, U. Aston; Dr Danyang Zhang, Shenzhen University; Dr Adam Holden, Instituto Alberto Einstein Panamá; Dr Wai Mu Lim, U. Plymouth; Dr Geraldine Mark, U. Cardiff, Dr. Carlos Ordoñana, CUD San Javier or Dr Yolanda Noguera, UPCT. I’ve been an external evaluator of some of the best Linguistics and Language Education programmes in the UK, including the Research Excellence Framework for the University of Lancaster or the University of Sussex. I’ve been in the Professor and Senior lecturer promotion committee of world-leading experts in corpus linguistics and language education from the University of Lancaster, Oxford, University of Bath or Edge Hill, UK. I’ve been an external examiner in PhD vivas in the US, Canada and the UK, including the Universities of Lancaster, Surrey, Sussex, Limerick, Leeds, Vigo, Complutense, Sheffield and an internal examiner in tens of PhD vivas, mostly at the University of Cambridge. I’ve been an assessor/evaluator for research grants in the UK, Spain, Belgium and France.
