FNR-funded PhD-research “Interacting in Luxembourgish as an Additional Language”, Adrienne Lambo Ouafo

Adrienne Lambo Ouafo, who graduated from the trilingual research MA-programme “Learning and Development in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts” (2009) will join DICA-lab with her PhD-research, focusing on “Interacting in Luxembourgish as an Additional Language”, funded by the FNR-AFR scheme, starting in September 2010. Le projet (direction: G. Ziegler) traite de la théorie des apprentissages en contexte multilingue. L’apprenant du luxembourgeois est-il un «acteur social»? L’étude se propose d’analyser la relation qu’entretient l’immigrant adulte apprenant du luxembourgeois comme langue additionnel (lLAL) avec le contexte social au Luxembourg. Basée sur la théorie de l’apprentissage d’une langue comme dynamique interactionnelle, nous examinons les représentations qu’ont les apprenants de leurs situations d’interaction ainsi que les situations d’interaction.
