Distinguished Professors - Professor Li Wei

My main research interest is in the broad area of bilingualism and multilingualism, which includes Bilingual and Multilingual First Language Acquisition (BAMFLA), early second language acquisition (ESLA), speech and language disorders of bilingual and multilingual speakers, the pragmatics of bilingual and multilingual interaction, and bilingual and multilingual education. My current work focuses on Translanguaging as both a conceptual and analytic framework for language and communication and cognition research and a pedagogical principle for language teaching and learning.
