About the project
This postdoctoral research project is part of the Oslo Early Education Study (OEES). The purpose of the OEES is to develop, implement and assess effects of an intervention aimed at preparing multiethnic early childhood education and care centers to support children’s language development and collaborate with parents.
The current project will have a particular focus on the young dual language learners’ language development and their language use. Planned studies will include examinations of: the children’s participation in decontextualized talk during shared book reading; the dimensionality and stability of the children’s language abilities; patterns of first and second language use and exposure across situations and interlocutors; as well as the effects of the OEES intervention on the children’s language development.
