Simulation for Participatory Education

María Laura Angelini is an accredited lecturer and researcher at the Universidad Católica of Valencia 'San Vicente Mártir'. She is the Chief Researcher of the Interdisciplinary Group on Active Learning and Assessment (IGALA). Dr. Angelini integrates active teaching-learning methods and formative and shared assessment. She conducts action research through the application of simulation in English language teaching, which is reflected in her numerous publications. She has recently published the books “Learning Through Simulations. Ideas for Educational Practitioners” (2021) Ed. Springer; and “La simulación como estrategia educativa. Propuesta adaptada para el medio físico y virtual” (2021) Ed. Dykinson. She is an Erasmus+ accredited Virtual Exchange trainer. In her teaching, she promotes understanding of social issues, encourages respect for human and animal rights, and the development of empathy through simulation scenarios. She is currently researching the effectiveness of large-scale simulation through virtual exchanges between in-service teachers, teacher trainees and academics from different institutions worldwide. Rut Muñiz Calderón is a senior lecturer of ESP at Universidad Católica de Valencia (UCV). She received a PhD in English philology from Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain (2011). She teaches Business English and Legal English in the Business Administration degree, Multimedia and Digital Arts and Law degrees and Maritime Law master’s degree she also teaches English language Didactics in the pre -service teacher instruction master’s degree. Her research areas are contrastive linguistics,  the analysis of professional and academic discourse and its linguistics variations, intercultural communication, Virtual Exchange and simulation. She has presented papers at international conferences and is the author of several publications. She has carried out international teaching stays and virtual exchanges and is also a member of the IGALA research group as PI of the Virtual Exchange research line.
