Language, literacies and learning

Research in the "Language, literacies and learning" focus area covers the entire life span and various areas of life.

We investigate language use, literacies, and learning as part of meaning-making activities that draw on multiple linguistic and other semiotic resources and are situated in linguistic ecosystems. Topics include processes and interactional practices of language learning, multiliteracies and knowledge construction, teaching and assessment, as well as learners’ experiences of learning processes. 

Research in this area encompasses both spoken and signed languages, and ranges across the lifespan and different domains of life (education, leisure, working life) in the multilingual, multicultural, and mediatized society. Our research contributes to theoretical and societal discussions on language and literacy, as well as to the development of new pedagogical practices promoting language awareness, multilingualism, and societal equity.
