Academic language in research and education

How do attitudes toward Norwegian as a professional language affect the daily work of students and researchers?

Our Research Focus

We will study attitudes toward and the actual use of Norwegian as a professional language. We will investigate how this practice impacts the daily work of researchers and their teaching, as well as how it influences students' learning and their overall classroom experience.

We are especially interested in the language learning experiences, development, usage, and perceptions of international employees. These studies are designed to provide a deeper understanding of how communication in a second language affects the dynamic between teachers and students and student learning outcomes.
