The research group has a triple focus. It includes researchers who are interested in English-language literature, from both literary and didactic studies. It also welcomes researchers who take an interest in literacy: reading, writing, and historical literacy are among the topics we explore. English didactics is the third component: researchers in the group examine different topics related to English as a school subject.

What we research

We contribute to research-based teaching practices in the school subject English, and we also research English-language literature. An ongoing project which combines the two is “Literature, teacher education and climate change”.

More about the research group

The research group consists of both experienced and novice researchers. The group serves as a forum for guidance and feedback, and encourages the development of research projects among and beyond the members of the group. All of the members are currently from the Department of English, but the group is open for researchers from other departments and faculties.
