Our research engages innovative theories and concepts across a broad spectrum, such as Ecopedagogy, Indigenous Futures, and Sustainable Schools.
Education for Language Learning Sciences
We focus on the role of language, the scientific theories related to language acquisition, and the most effective methods of teaching language. Our research delves into several areas, such as Early Language Development and Disorder, Science of Reading, and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).
