The GRAL Research Group initiated its activity in 1995 with the study of the effects of age on foreign language learning. This early work, which found its continuity in successive grants from the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, culminated with the publication of the book Age and the Rate of Foreign Language Learning (2006) edited by Dr. Carme Muñoz. Over the years, different members of the GRAL Group have actively participated in a number of other national and international grants (Ministerio de Industria y Competitividad; RecerCaixa; Lifelong Learning Programme EU; Language Learning Small Grants Research)
Recent work by GRAL members has been published in well-known language journals such as System, IRAL, Language Awareness, Language Learning, International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, Applied Linguistics, TESOL Quarterly, Eurosla Yearbook, International Journal of English Studies as well as a number of book chapters.
