Research Group on Multilingual Acquisition

GRAM: Grup de Recerca en Adquisició Multilingüe

We are an interdisciplinary research group based at UIC Barcelona with members branching from three departments: Applied Linguistics, Psychology, and Education Sciences. GRAM is our initiative to found a center within the university that combines our expertise to investigate our shared research interest: multilingual language acquisition (in both social languages present in the community and foreign and heritage languages).

Lines of Research:

  • Development of social and heritage languages in naturalistic and formal learning contexts
  • Development of foreign languages in instructed and non-instructed settings

Team

We are committed to investigating multilingual development and share the same objective: to research how learners and their learning environments influence, support, and ultimately shape language development.

Projects & Knowledge Transfer

It is important for all GRAM members to foster relationships between our research and the non-academic public. In the past, we have collaborated with multiple school principals, teachers, educators, members of the Department of Education at the Generalitat de Catalunya, & associations of parents.
