Concepción ORNA-MONTESINOS
I am a Lecturer at Faculty of Education of the University of Zaragoza. I have recently worked on exploring the development of academic literacy acquisition in tertiary education settings around the world. My research interests focus on the internationalization of Higher Education institutions and its impact on the use of English as the international language and on intercultural communication. I am also interested in genre analysis and specialized languages. I currently participate in national and international projects which seek to explore the dissemination of scientific knowlege about climate change and sustainability in digital genres.
You can follow my updates on Academia and ResearchGate.
