Rocío Díaz Bravo is an Affiliated Lecturer in Hispanic Linguistics.
Having completed an MA in Digital Humanities (King’s College London), an MA in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and a PhD in Spanish Linguistics (University of Málaga), she has varied research interests, which include the study of Variation and Change in the History of the Spanish Language with a focus on orality in sixteenth-century Spanish, Computational Linguistics and Digital Humanities applied to Spanish Linguistics, TELL (Technology-Enhanced Language Learning), and Teaching and Learning Varieties of Spanish.
She is currently conducting research on ‘learnèd’ borrowings in the Retrato de la Loçana andaluza, as a member of the Loaded Meanings strand of the Language Acts and Worldmaking project (funded by the AHRC Open World Research Initiative). Her PhD thesis examined the orality of this sixteenth-century literary work. Her recent edition of the Retrato de la Loçana andaluza has been published by the Modern Humanities Research Association. Rocío has recently joined the research team of the online corpus Oralia Diacrónica del Español (University of Granada). Furthermore, she is a member of the research group LiSLaT (Linguistics in Spanish Language Teaching), co-led by lecturers from the Open University and currently investigating the teaching and learning of varieties of Spanish from the teachers’ and the students’ perspectives (including the flipped classroom). She is particularly interested in teaching innovation and has participated in different projects, such as teaching and learning Spanish in Second Life and e-marking and e-feedback with iPads (funded by the London School of Economics and Political Sciences).
Rocío is one of the Editorial Assistant of the Journal of Spanish Language Teaching.
