Course contents

The aim of this course is to provide students with insights into different theoretical concepts and aspects related to multilingualism and language in educational contexts.

Language acquisition, language learning and language instruction will be covered from both L1, L2 and L3 perspectives, and multilingualism as a phenomenon will be related to both the multilingual individual as well as the multilingual society.

Generic and transferable skills such as presenting research insights and findings in different contexts, will be covered, as well as evaluation of different national and international channels for dissemination.
