Language Campus
Language Campus is a joint effort between the Centre for Multilingual Academic Communication, the Department of Language and Communication Studies, the Centre for Applied Language Studies, the language pedagogy section at the Department of Teacher Education, and the Teacher training school at the University of Jyväskylä. Together we form the Language Campus, which is a nationally and internationally unique knowledge cluster that aims at developing and renewing language education, language teaching and language policies through cutting-edge, multi-angled research on language and its use.
We at the Language Campus investigate language and its use in different contexts in a multilingual society. Our research can be described as applied linguistics. We also develop language education that is based on research, and builds on a modern view of language proficiency and skills, language expertise, and cultural competence.
