Irati Diert Boté
Irati Diert-Boté holds a bachelor’s degree in English Studies and a master’s degree in Applied Languages, both by the University of Lleida, and has been a member of CLA since 2016. In 2021, she defended her doctoral thesis titled An exploration of English language learners’ emotions and beliefs in a Catalan context: Insights from self-reported experiences and observed classroom practices. She has partaken in several funded competitive research projects and a European teaching innovation project. Irati teaches undergraduate courses in the English Studies degree as well as English for Specific courses in various disciplines, such as Tourism, Audiovisual Communication and Journalism, and Medicine.
Irati conducts research in different English language learning/teaching contexts such as English as a Foreign Language (EFL), English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English-medium Instruction (EMI). Her research interests revolve around exploring (in)effective teaching practices in these various settings from a qualitative perspective by focusing on the affective dimension of English language learning and teaching. Her research areas include language learners’ and teachers’ emotions and beliefs, self-concept, identity, multimodality, English as a lingua franca and plurilingualism.
