Saioa Larraza is an Associate Professor at the Department of Language and Literature Didactics of the University of the Basque Country. She has a degree in Basque Philology (2006) and a PhD in Linguistics (2014). She has published studies on L1 and L2 perception in early and late bilinguals, both infants and adults (e.g. Basque-Spanish, Basque-French, English-Italian, etc.), in language variation contexts. Since 2015, she has been teaching language didactics in multilingual and multicultural contexts at the UPV/EHU. Her work combines psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics and language didactics, to understand how languages, and specially minority ones, are acquired and processed and, consequently, how they should be taught.
