Delighted to have contribute this chapter with my much-admired Frank Boers to 'Applying Cognitive Linguistics in the English Language Classroom'. Very grateful to Ben White and Natalia Dolgova. Stay tune for its publication www.bloomsbury.com/uk/applying-...
New paper with @alicedeignan.bsky.social & @duygucandarli.bsky.social: 'Children’s ability to interpret metaphorical polysemy in educational materials'. We show the difficulties that 10-12yo children can have with unfamiliar metaphorical uses of words in school.

A truly enriching training seminar on how CL can inspire teaching materials. I am very grateful to the speakers @mmartingilete.bsky.social, Zeina Alhmoud, @beamartingascon.bsky.social and @salzacharias.bsky.social for their inspiring talks, my team and our SOFD at UEx for funding the event.
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.
🌟Honoured to receive recognition from the Spanish Young Linguists’ Association for my predoctoral work, thanks to the generous mentorship of Fiona MacArthur and @anapiquerpiriz-uex.bsky.social. Grateful for the award and the chance to highlight applied cognitive linguistics as a plenary at AJL2025 💚
