PhD in Language and Cultures with International Mention by the University of Cordoba (UCO) in 2024, her academic profile has moved from a BA’s Degree in English Philology by the UCO, a BA’s Degree in Education, Specialist in Foreign Language-English by the University of Castilla-La Mancha, and a Master in English for Professional Qualification by the UCO, for which she received extraordinary completion prize. In addition to attending numerous educational research conferences and training activities, she has also completed a research stay at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland).

Carmen has worked as an English specialist in Secondary Schools (2003-2009) and Early Childhood and Primary Schools (2009-2020). Currently, she works as an assistant professor at the UCO.  That is why her teaching and research work advocates for the collaboration among educational centres of all levels —from early childhood to higher education— teacher training centres, authorities, and researchers, in order to implement teachers education effectively and provide teachers with up to date tools and strategies to manage the diverse realities and the day-to-day issues that there are in our classrooms.

During her stage as a teacher in compulsory education she has taught linguistic and non-linguistic areas in public bilingual schools in Andalusia. Additionally, she coordinated the Bilingual Programme and the Teachers Training Programme. Within the later, she designed Training Programmes about Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Integrated Didactic Units, Cooperative Learning, the Portfolio as an instrument for evaluation and reflection about learning, and the School Linguistic Project. Her research interests range from the analysis of oral and semiotic resources and in-class strategies for the transmission of knowledge and the implementation of bilingual education, to the study of English pronunciation and the attention to Specific Educational Support Needs provision within mainstream foreign language education.
