Projects
We use various methods to study how children learn to communicate with language.
Phase 2
LuCiD’s phase 2 (2019-2025) built on what was learned in the first five years of the Centre and extended this to three new research streams:
From variation to explanation
Understanding development in different learners and languages.
From simple to complex
This theme explores scaling up to real-world language learning.
From oral language to literacy
Building on 80 children’s language learning across the first 5 years.
Phase 1
Our research for the first phase of LuCiD (2014-2019) centred on five broad themes, each led by one of the Centre’s Directors
We use various methods to study how children learn to communicate with language.
Environment
