Oral communication, language as a system and an opportunity, text in context and linguistic diversity are important topics in the new curricula that were implemented in 2020/2021 in for the language subjects. Members of the research group Language and Society are interested in these topics, and we thus aim to strengthen the research-based knowledge in the language subjects at all levels of the Norwegian education system.
The research group also aims to enhance research-based teaching, and the members conduct research in the areas where they teach (e.g. language subjects in primary and secondary teacher education, in further education courses and in master's programs).
