Immensely enriched and grateful after the RaAM 17 conference @raammetaphor.bsky.social. A really high quality programme and impeccable organisation. Delighted to present our work in individual papers and a theme session with Rafael Alejo, @mmartingilete.bsky.social and Laura Fielden.

Huge congrats, @mmartingilete.bsky.social! A more than well-deserved recognition to your academic achievements and great news for Applied Cognitive Linguistics!

Looking forward to enjoying this always-enriching Colloquium and feeling very honoured for the opportunity to give a plenary talk that summarises our research into CLIL in the past years!

To be able to read exceptional MA dissertations is a gift and to see our students of the Master's in Bilingual Education Through English For Primary And Secondary School Teachers (Universidad de Extremadura) “grow” so much is a great satisfaction. So begins Adela Grandioso Perera's dissertation:

That's a beautiful "jara". They're very common in my region. The most common variety here is the white one but there's also a lovely pink type. This is a beautiful mix of both 😍.

A highly recommended colloquium for both teachers and researchers involved in CLIL. Registrations are still open but only until 6 June!

When you are working on a chapter that you've been invited to write and go back to your PhD dissertation dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/tesi... (20 years later!) to discover that there are still many relevant issue there. This is where it all started ;-)

I have been here for several weeks now and I am enjoying it. Great to see so many colleagues and friends around! Coming from southern Spain, blue skies have always been my thing.
