Educational linguistics

Educational Linguistics, an interdisciplinary research area, has become an area of world-leading scholarship at the University of Stirling since 2014.

It is a field of study which focuses on varied domains of education. It approaches ‘education’ as a process and investigates both formal sites of teaching and learning as well as other social settings in which people interact to learn, engage, and understand.

Educational linguistics seeks to comprehend how texts shape people’s lives, how interactions open up and close down social possibilities and how social structures are reproduced and challenged through language and other forms of meaning-making.
