Esther Mediero

I am passionate about language learning. As an adolescent, I realised languages helped me develop a more flexible mind and attitude towards other views of the world. What is more important, speaking a foreign language pushed my otherwise limited perspective and allowed to explore new boundaries. The path to becoming a legal translator taught me the beauty of language and soft skills which allowed me to face the real world challenges.

During my career as a teacher, I have worked and learnt about educational systems in USA, UK, France and Spain in varied educational contexts for adults (tertiary and higher education), teenagers and children.

I have experience in curriculum design of new subjects at higher education and as a debate coach for MEP (Model of European Parliament). I have a good eye for detail and strive for excellence. I have acted as an external assessor in official selection of candidates.

I am currently researching the influence of the educational setting on second language learning and in particular how interfaces (semantic, syntactic and discourse) are acquired.
