A focus is, among other things, on various types of multilingual literacies, the teaching of language and literature, interactional and multimodal aspects of language and learning, grammar and phonology in a second language perspective as well as assessment of linguistic competence. A focus is also on communication in multilingual workplaces, and the policies, ideologies and attitudes of the multilingual society. The research covers sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, cognitive and educational aspects of multilingualism and learning. These aspects include several methodological approaches, e.g. ethnographic, text-, interaction- and corpus-based as well as experimental EEG/ERP, Eye Tracking and behavioral experiments, see the Multilingualism Laboratory.
