Goals
"This project investigates young children´s relations to language, reading and writing in a globalized society. Some of the more important features of globalization could be described as concerning a changed knowledge-production, an increase in multicultural encounters, as well as in communication through visual languages. The project focuses how these broad domains affect preschool children´s learning of language, reading and writing as contents of knowledge. The project will also highlight possible didactical consequences for teaching, assessing and evaluating language, reading and writing in preschool."
