Noelia Navarro-Gil

Noelia Navarro-Gil serves as a Professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at the Institute for Multilingualism, International University of Catalonia (UIC). She earned her PhD in June 2020 with a dissertation titled "Academic discourse at university: corpus approaches to learner writing," establishing her expertise in linguistic analysis of academic texts.

Her research centers on corpus linguistics methodologies applied to second language acquisition, with specialized focus on disciplinary literacy development, academic genre conventions, and phraseological patterns like lexical bundles. Navarro-Gil investigates how advanced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners navigate academic writing through discourse markers, vocabulary production, and metadiscursive strategies, bridging theoretical linguistics with practical language education.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent exploration of learner writing challenges across multiple dimensions: syntactic cohesion (linking adverbials), lexical sophistication (academic vocabulary), phraseological competence (lexical bundles), and rhetorical self-positioning (metadiscourse). These studies predominantly employ corpus-based comparative approaches between learner and expert writing within Spanish academic contexts.

As an active researcher at UIC's Institute for Multilingualism, she contributes to institutional initiatives examining multilingual education frameworks and language policy implementation in higher education settings.
