Research on multilingualism in education is in an era of expansion and transformation; developments in society caused by globalisation have created new concerns in schools and communities, to which educational researchers must respond. In mainstream educational provision, there are growing tensions between diversity and inclusion in relation to language, while in marginalised language communities there are long-standing concerns for equitable representation and participation in educational provision. Researchers working in this area draw on a range of theoretical and methodological approaches and analytical techniques to answer the various questions that arise related to the provision of quality education in diverse settings. No single theoretical or methodological approach can answer all the questions in this domain, and it is valuable for young researchers to gain familiarity with a variety of theoretical concepts and methodologies and related data analysis techniques. The course is organized by research group Challenges of Sustainability in Educational Research (COSER). Learning outcome On completion of the course, the PhD candidate shall have achieved the following learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and general competence): *Demonstrate knowledge of current theoretical concepts and methodologies for researching multilingualism in education *Be able to evaluate and critically analyse theoretical concepts and methodologies employed in research on multilingualism in education *Be able to engage in a variety of data analysis techniques in relation to a sample of data collected in a multilingual setting *Have knowledge about strategies for communicating research on multilingualism in education through various dissemination genres and to multiple audiences
