Job Title: Post-doctoral Researcher in English
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Multilingualism

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

A position as post-doctoral researcher in English linguistics and
multilingualism is available at the Department of Teacher Education at NTNU.
The successful candidate will be employed on the Research Council of
Norway-funded project "Acquisition of English in the multilingual classroom"
from 1 September 2019 for two years.

The project’s primary objective is to examine acquisition of English by
multilingual language learners in Norwegian schools. The secondary objectives
include examining the acquisition patterns of English L3 in Norwegian
classrooms. The main focus will be on language awareness
and language development, in particular the contrastive/comparative elements
between the learners’ L1 and English for both spoken and written language at
different age groups/levels of proficiency.

We will also define ‘standards’ or levels of what should be expected at the
different levels of proficiency/ages to fulfill the learning outcomes in the
curriculum for English. We will examine teachers and learners’ cognitive
awareness of the language learning process and we will examine how students on
the Master program in English education can best contribute to professional
development and carry out their own research projects in multilingual
classrooms.

The post-doctoral researcher will be responsible for the following tasks:
- Collect and analyse data that consist of observations and recordings of
classroom interaction between students and teacher, and students’ written
texts
- Carry out and analyse interviews with teachers
- Carry out some transcription and coding of audio data
- Present project results at conferences and co-author reports and
publications
