Research topics
Innovative Research in Language, Education, and Cognitive Development
We address a number of research topics and themes that share commonalties but are rooted in specific epistemological and theoretical frameworks. In our empirical studies, we use a range of innovative qualitative and quantitative methodologies including observations, interviews, surveys, interventions and controlled experiments.
We focus on the following research topics:
- Work, training and mobility
- Eco-/ethno-/sociolinguistic approaches to diversity in education and management
- Cognitive and socio-emotional development
We also aim to produce efficient materials, create professional development training, and teach in a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across departments and disciplines. We are committed to communicate our research findings to various audiences, including researchers, practitioners, parents and policy makers.
