Alexander Gahr

Alexander Gahr serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Philology, Translation and Interpretation at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), Spain. His academic work falls under the Arts and Humanities branch with specialization in German Philology, contributing to both undergraduate and graduate programs in Translation and Teacher Training.

His research focuses on critical challenges in German language education, particularly grammatical structures like accusative and dative case acquisition for non-native speakers, alongside specialized domains such as audiovisual translation and school mediation. This interdisciplinary approach bridges theoretical linguistics with practical pedagogy in multilingual contexts.

• Estupiñán Pérez, José (2018): "Basic concepts of audiovisual translation" (Bachelor's thesis in Translation and Interpreting)
• Carballo Alemán, Esther (2017): "The Importance of School Mediation" (Master's thesis in Teacher Training)
• Henríquez Santana, Alfredo Antonio (2016): "Problems in learning the accusative and dative for non-German students" (Master's thesis in Teacher Training)
