Cambridge Processing and Acquisition of Language Laboratory
The CamPAL lab, part of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the University of Cambridge, studies language learning in monolingual and bilingual contexts. Research spans linguistic theory, psychology, and applied innovations in teaching and assessment.
The lab explores a wide range of topics, from language acquisition (both child and adult, monolingual and bilingual, typical and atypical alike) to psycholinguistics, offering a comprehensive perspective on how language is acquired and processed.
By integrating linguistic theory, psychological insights, and experimental methods, the lab adopts a multifaceted approach to understanding language. This interdisciplinary framework drives innovation in research and fosters collaboration across fields.
The lab bridges research and practice by addressing practical challenges in language teaching, assessment, and communication. Its findings contribute to advancements in educational practices and language assessment tools.
