Mission Statement

WE seek to support, normalise, and promote equitable, diverse and inclusive bi- and multilingual ecologies and ideologies across all levels, from the local to the global, to foster sustainable social cohesion and interculturalism.

By conducting empirical research, which integrates existing and develops new theoretical propositions to advance the current state of knowledge, we endeavour to stimulate further debate and offer solutions to language and cultural challenges in multilingual and multicultural societies.

Maintaining a dual teaching and research focus, our specialisms in Cross-Linguistic Influence, Language Policy and Planning, Interculturality within Language Teaching and Learning, and Second Language Acquisition are blended to engage with the critical issues of access, diversity and identity in multilingual, multicultural contexts.
