Project description

The project combines applied linguistics and educational research perspectives to gain critical understanding of language teachers' and learners' conceptualizations of language and multiliteracies and the reflection of these in teaching and learning practices in early language learning. The novelty value of the project lies in its multiliteracies perspective to language education, which bridges divides between language subjects, educational contexts, language syllabi, and language teacher profiles.

The project will be implemented within a nexus analytical framework and participatory and visual methods are applied throughout. The recruited teachers and learners and a live sketchnoter are equal partners in data generation and interpretation and all data is analysed in international interdisciplinary research and collaborator teams by using multiple methods.
