Inmaculada Gómez Soler

Assistant Professor of Spanish and Applied Linguistics at Dublin City University. She completed her master's and doctoral degrees in Linguistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research lies at the intersection of the acquisition and pedagogy of Spanish as a heritage and foreign language, with a particular focus on teacher training. She is especially interested in teacher agency: how teachers articulate their pedagogical objectives in dialogue with educational policies, sociopolitical dynamics, and linguistic ideologies that shape each context. Her work reflects a strong commitment to social justice, educational innovation, and strengthening the link between research and practice.
