Video updates on the latest research from IOE centre published
21 July 2020
The Centre for Language, Literacy and Numeracy: Research & Practice (LLNR&P) at 香港六合彩 Institute of Education (IOE) has produced a series of videos exploring current research at the Centre as a replacement for its annual summer lecture.
The videos explore projects that IOE academics are currently undertaking that aim to help children鈥檚 learning and attainment in the short- and long-term future.
Topics cover how technology can be used to support children with literacy difficulties and those learning to read, what skills children need when they learn to spell, and how oral language learning is compromised in socially disadvantaged areas. Other videos examine how children learn words and their meanings, how different mathematical abilities develop and why different children struggle with maths, and the effects of multilingualism on cognitive development across people鈥檚 lifespan.
The videos are introduced by Professor Julie Dockrell, Director of LLNR&P, who speaks to IOE academics Dr Amelia Roberts and Dr Zachary Walker about the research clips, the diversity of the Centre鈥檚 research, resources available for teachers and parents, and prevalent myths about children鈥檚 learning.
Professor Dockrell said: 鈥淭hese six video clips demonstrate three really important aspects of our work: that we work with children of all ages, of all abilities and with different learning challenges; that our work reflects the diversity of children growing up in the UK now; and that we conduct research in flexible and creative ways.鈥
LLNR&P works on theoretical and applied research in the areas of spoken and written language and children鈥檚 developing and understanding between language, literacy and numeracy.聽
