Second Language Education Group

The Second Language Education Group specialises in researching a range of theoretical, empirical, policy and practice-related topics around the theme of multilingualism and education. The group adopts an interdisciplinary focus on language learning, drawing on perspectives from the social sciences and applied linguistics. ‘Second language’ is interpreted inclusively to refer to, inter alia, the contexts of bilingualism, English as an additional language,  foreign language and community/heritage language learning.
