About
I do teaching and research in children's language development and the language environment in the kindergarten. I am particularly concerned with children's multilingual development at home and in kindergarten, and am currently researching Polish-Norwegian children in PolkaNorski. I am also interested in developing students' skills in academic writing and reading academic texts, student co-writing, student peer reviews and the use of study groups, as well as developing digital teaching methods.
