Her main fields of interest are second language vocabulary development and lexicography, as well as task-based teaching and materials design. Recently, she has been doing research on the role of verbal and visual modalities in fine arts education, resulting in the publication of a specialized bilingual art dictionary in 2020. She has extensive experience in teacher training, while still actively teaching English as a foreign language.
