We study language in multilingual users' minds and literacy development in multilingual settings.
Ongoing studies
We currently look into code-switching and the use of English-origin words in the Hindi L1-English L2 bilingual context. Our goal is to examine how knowledge of English and Hindi vocabulary is stored and used in multilingual speakers' minds.
"Literacy is central to education", and the choice of language for instruction and knowledge transfer influences learners' performance and outcome as well as confidence. We inquire about ways to confident learners' joyful experiences in the multilingual classroom.
Writing is an intricate process in academia, and the final written product is made through brainstorming, data collection/evaluation, drafting, revision, and editing, which are rarely linear but intertwined. We develop optimal environments for developing thinking .
