Research subject Swedish as a second language
Swedish as a second language is a multifaceted research area with high social relevance. Within this area, we conduct research on the multilingualism of children, young people and adults, language development and language use in school and other formal and informal educational contexts, in workplaces and in society.
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.
The Multilingualism Laboratory
The researchers come from the research subjects of Swedish and Scandinavian languages and Bilingualism at the Department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism, and from Swedish as a second language from an educational perspective at the Department of Teaching and Learning.
