The Doctoral Training Unit ‘Capitalising on Linguistic Diversity in Education’ (DTU CALIDIE) focuses on the fundamental question of how learners’ linguistic repertoires interact with their learning. It investigates in particular how multilingualism affects learning practices and processes, and how multilingualism can be capitalized on and transformed into a resource for educational success and social well-being.
The research conducted within CALIDIE focuses on various theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of multilingualism. Bringing together psychologists, educationalists, linguists, and anthropologists, the research group fully acknowledges the expertise within specific
disciplinary areas but at the same time seeks to transcend disciplinary thinking to address a common thematic challenge. Ten PhD researchers and one post-doc from Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, and the USA will provide multi-perspective new insights into the understanding of the interaction of multilingualism and learning.
