She is a junior lecturer in the Department of English Studies at the University of Extremadura, where she teaches undergraduate courses on the English Language and Applied Linguistics at the Faculty of Arts. Additionally, she is a member and active collaborator of the teaching innovation group "Integration of Content and Foreign Languages at the University of Extremadura" (GID_ICLUEx). She has contributed to the internationalisation of the institution through her teaching visit to the Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre (Portugal), where she was also able to promote the teaching materials designed by GID_ICLUEx and participate in knowledge transfer activities stemming from her involvement in European Erasmus+ projects (INCOLLAB and CLIL4YEC). Her training and teaching performance has been positively evaluated, and as a result, she has received a ‘distinguished’ rating from the Docentia-UEx programme.

Her main research interests concern cognitive linguistics, applied linguistics, and figurative language. She has presented various papers at national and international conferences on these topics. Additionally, she had the opportunity to hone her methodological training at Lancaster University (UK) thanks to an international research stay at the Department of Linguistics and English Language in 2022.

Marta Martín-Gilete is also a member of the research team English Language and Applied Linguistics (LILA) at the University of Extremadura, which is made up of researchers with a background in applied metaphor research, L2 vocabulary acquisition, and discourse analysis. She has been involved in various, funded research projects on metaphor (METCLIL), L2/L3 vocabulary (HERPRO), and CLIL (ICLUEx), working with local and international colleagues. In addition, she has served on the organising and evaluating committees for various national and international conferences, and has participated in activities to promote scientific culture, such as the European Researchers’ Night.

Her work has been published in journals such as Review of Cognitive Linguistics and VIAL, and she has also published book chapters with Peter Lang and Tirant lo Blanch. See Open-Access publications here: https://dehesa.unex.es/browse?type=author&authority=ad55f0ed-8156-4932-9...
