Researching Multilingualism and Language Education across Borders and over Decades

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Claire Kramsch grew up between four different languages, French, English, German, and Yiddish. She tells how beyond the differences in languages, it is the misunderstandings between the speakers of these languages that have always fascinated her and that have guided her research. Literature and discourse analysis led her to develop the concept of symbolic competence.
