Teams and roles for Nazaret Perez-Nieto
Senior Lecturer in Spanish
Overview
After teaching Spanish Language and Culture, Translation, and Interpreting modules at Ulster University, I joined the Hispanic Studies Department at Cardiff University in 2015. Since then, I have taught Spanish Language and Specialised Translation modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
In regard to my administrative duties, I have undertaken a wide and varied range of roles within the School. At present I am the MLANG Student Voice and NSS Academic lead being responsible of coordinating, promoting and delivering School responses to student feedback initiatives.
In addition, I currently serve as Chair for Wales of the University Council For Languages (UCFL), contributing to the promotion and strategic development of language education across Wales and the wider UK.

Research
My research interests lie in the fields of Translation in Language Teaching and Learning, Legal Translation, Second Language Acquisition and Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language.
As part of my research I work on the use of audiovisual materials in the Spanish as a Foreing Language classroom, particularily the use of audiovisual materials in the translation classes and students as co-creators for module and assessment development.
At present, I am part of a School wide project entitled 'Language learning and assessing with ChatGPT and other Artificial Intelligence-based chatbots' which aims at understanding how students are using AI chatbots as well as researching how to integrate these tools in a efficient and ethical manner into our teaching practice.

Biography
In 2012 I graduated from the University of Granada with a Master of Research in Translation and Interpreting studies and I was appointed as a Sworn Translator of English by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation. Previous to this I studied an undergraduate degree in Translation and Interpreting at Granada.
After teaching Spanish Language and Culture, Translation, and Interpreting modules at Ulster University, I joined the Hispanic Studies Department at Cardiff University in 2015. Since then, I have taught Spanish Language and Specialised Translation modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
In regard to my administrative duties, I have undertaken a wide and varied range of roles within the School. At present I am the MLANG Student Voice and NSS Academic lead being responsible of coordinating, promoting and delivering School responses to student feedback initiatives.
In addition, I currently serve as Chair for Wales of the University Council For Languages (UCFL), contributing to the promotion and strategic development of language education across Wales and the wider UK.
