Sònia Mas-Alcolea
La Sònia Mas Alcolea és doctora per la Universitat de Lleida i és membre del grup de recerca Cercle de Lingüística Aplicada. La seva recerca tracta l’impacte que el programa de mobilitat Erasmus té en la identitat d’estudiants catalans. Des de la perspectiva de l’anàlisi del discurs, la seva recerca es centra en la construcció discursiva que els estudiants fan pel que fa a les seves experiències en l’aprenentatge i ús de llengües durant l’estada, en la seva percepció de la ‘diferència cultural’ i en el que constitueix un important factor que afecta aquests dos aspectes: les seves relacions socials.
