Teresa's research explores the intersection of language acquisition and emotional expression, analyzing how Chinese-speaking learners articulate emotions like sadness and joy in Spanish. Her studies incorporate descriptive, expressive, and figurative language, with a focus on oral production and autobiographical narratives. She has also contributed to language teaching methodologies and cultural education, including works on tourism-related Spanish instruction in Jordan.

Her publications include studies on emotional valence, grammatical categories, and expressive resources in Spanish learners, alongside literary analyses of works by Alfonsina Storni and Gioconda Belli. While her research group (LAELE) emphasizes applied linguistics, her articles also span cultural and artistic domains, reflecting interdisciplinary interests.
