About

The research group for Second and Foreign Language Teaching and Learning (TOVI) covers various topics related to language teaching and learning. We are particularly interested in second and foreign languages taught in Finnish schools.

TOVI includes researchers and teachers from various disciplines and faculties at Tampere University as well as from other educational institutions in Finland. Our research topics are related to language education and didactics, language education policy, and language learning. Several interest groups operate within TOVI’s research network.

TOVI’s interest groups:

Digitality, multiliteracy, and digital dementia
