Language Learning, Teaching and Testing

In the research group Language Learning, Teaching and Testing, we study the content, role and effects of language learning, teaching and testing, which includes topics such as the (multimodal) pedagogy of foreign language learning, the optimization of learning outcomes, the role of cultural awareness in language teaching, and also topics as spoken or written patterns in the interlanguage of language learners. The methodologies we use include corpus research, experiments, surveys, fieldwork and qualitative analyses.
